Is your plan to apply to all the Ivies plus some additional highly selective colleges because you think it will increase your odds of being admitted? Host Ian Fisher will be joined by College Coach colleague Landis Fryer to explain why it doesn’t, and why a carefully targeted list makes the most sense. 

 For seniors, at this point you have likely received admission decisions from all your colleges. If you applied to many, you may be struggling to decide which college will be best for you. Listen in as colleague Tova Javetz discusses how students might address this conundrum. But first, Ian has the pleasure of interviewing a current college student at University of Massachusetts Amherst about why she chose it over a private college.
