| Would love recommendations (from instagram, YouTube, podcasts etc) when it comes to staying on top of best practices, updates, and trends in college admissions. Thanks! |

Ugh. All of them.
Ok one I like - the podcast guy who does “The Game: The Guide to Elite College Admissions” - but only if your kid is a contender for top schools |
+1 Slightly embarrassed to admit. And I hate his voice but his content is spot on (if repetitive) |
Do not give @katestoneprep a dime. She is a big MAGA + Trump fan. |
| Kate Stone’s rates are ridiculous, like over 100k. |
| We have found @tineocollegeprep on TikTok to be the best. He has a lot of reported student data from the current admissions cycle and posts videos analyzing trends. He also offers a lot of great (and free!) advice in his videos about supplemental essays, commonapp, extracurriculars, and frequently makes instagram story posts highlighting activities, awards, and ECs for students to get involved in. I also personally love how he works with a small cohort of students and is big on FGLI support. |
| Shoot me. |
Seems extreme. You could just choose not to watch. |
| No to Sara Haberson. Thankfully my DS did not take her advice on a number of issues - did the opposite. Ended up at a HYPSM. |
examples? |
|
none of them as they're all just peddling on parental anxiety and control.
we are passing on complexes to our kids. lots of mental health issues affecting them right now. |
| +1 for "The Game" |
|
Maybe there are more suggestions on the Podcasts thread:
