In this insightful episode of The We Are All Awesome Show powered by WiddyUP, we dive into the crucial yet often overlooked early stages of college planning. From 6th grade interest tracking to sophomore-year strategy, our host shares a clear, step-by-step framework to help families align a student's passions, values, and skills with the right academic and social college environment. Learn how personality assessments, social media roommate hunts, and realistic expectations around housing and campus life can significantly shape a student's college journey.
Whether your child is in middle school or already narrowing down schools in junior year, this conversation breaks down how to identify strengths, connect them with college programs, and ultimately prepare a standout application. It's more than picking a college—it's building a path that leads to personal and academic success.
