“It’s Not Just About Getting In”: What You Really Need to Know About the Application Process
This wasn’t just a webinar—it was a deep breath, a laugh, and a chance to finally feel like you had a plan.
If the words FAFSA, Common App, essay supplements, or demonstrated interest used to trigger a stress response, you weren’t alone. The college application process is no longer a simple checklist—it’s an emotional, logistical, and psychological marathon for the whole family.
In this one-hour session, we walked through what applying to college really looks like in 2025—and what it actually requires from both students and parents. Yes, we covered timelines, testing, essays, and all the moving parts. But more importantly, we talked about how to support your teen without micromanaging, how to keep your family grounded, and why this journey isn’t just about college—it’s about growing up.
