Episode Description
There are over 4000 colleges and universities in the US. Let that sink in. There are more colleges than there are shopping malls, Apple stores, amusement parks, and national parks COMBINED. My question is, ?How many could you name?? 50? 150? So why do so many shake their head, ?No? to a college they?ve never heard of? If you?ve ever worried about not finding the perfect school or feared not getting admitted to your first choice school, this is the episode for you! There are plenty of fish in the sea; you?ve got to keep fishing. This week our guest, Maria Furtado, the Executive Director and national spokeswoman for Colleges That Change Lives, shares her two golden rules; 1) Follow The Leader, and 2) Know before No. Maria?s story will open your mind and heart to a group of 44 colleges and inspire you to fall in love with the college admission process. She believes you can land at your perfect destination: YOUniversity.
