In today’s episode, college admissions expert Holly Schreiber and I discuss how to transform college visits into strategic tools. We break down the three key types of visits—Fit Finder, Test Drive, and Gut Check—and how they help students not only clarify their preferences but also stand out to schools. Tune in for expert advice on making the most of college visits and keeping your student engaged in the process!
