We discussed the state of college admissions in 2022, and how admissions counselors can build better relationships with their peers on the high school side. Amanda also shares her thoughts on the role that parents play in the college search, the hard and sometimes uncomfortable conversation of money and paying for college, plus the value of getting involved in your local affiliate organization.
