For Micki McMillan, college admissions is more than a checklist. It’s a chance to help students discover who they are, what they value, and where they want to go. As a college admissions expert with Empowerly and a former educator with more than two decades of experience, Micki meets students where they are and walks with them every step of the way.
In this episode, Micki shares how her own college journey transformed her life and why she believes the application process should start with self-discovery. She talks about building trust with students, helping families navigate the unknown, and encouraging young people to take risks, try new things, and grow through failure. You’ll also hear about her passion for education, her Eagles fandom, and why she’s excited to be part of the Pyramid Club community.
If you're a parent, student, or someone who remembers how tough it was to figure out the future, this conversation is full of clarity, compassion, and practical advice.
