One of the most stressful times in a parent and young adults life is applying for college. Having gone through it personally, I'll say it is terrible! The process is full of uncertainty and complete and utter lack of transparency. While school's do publish what their incoming classes look like in regards to grades and test scores, there's no promise that if you meet those requirements you will get in as there are tens of thousands of applicants with the same credentials.

In this episode, we sit down with Ken Spiegelman with MPT College Consulting to go through the process of applying for college. When should you start preparing to apply? What is the best practice on when and where to apply? What are the different options for getting an "early" decision on your college of choice? For those who are nearing the application stage (which is at the very beginning of Senior Year in High School) you MUST listen to Ken's wise words of advice from his years of experience.

This is our 2nd of 3 podcasts of our College Series. In our final and third episode we will look at Paying for College. Once you've saved and gotten in, what options and opportunities exist to pay for college and navigating the treacherous world of Financial Aid!
