    Great Information
    I'd like to see maybe a little more thorough intro at the start explaining who the interviewees are, but otherwise it's chock full of great knowledge bits.
  • VinceMajestyk
    Great idea, great podcast
    Listened to 3 episodes today and loved the idea and the product. Only real knock is audio quality is sometimes bad, but it is somewhat understandable with the format.

  • ReviewingPodcasts
    Informative and focused
    Steve is articulate and informed on the college application process. He brings a variety of perspectives on the process and would be a great resource to those going through the application process. While the audio quality is left wanting, the content more than makes up for it for those interested in the subject matter.
  • The Hammer House Project Podca
    Wow, super informative
    This podcast is definitely something I will be sharing with younger friends. Tons of great insight into the process of going to college.
  • mamom
    Great tips and interesting stories
    I enjoy listening to this podcast. One thing that differentiates this podcast from others about admissions is that they discuss worst admissions stories with the guests. While they are often funny to those of who have not experienced them they can be a valuable learning tool for students. One story told of a student who had excellent grades and test scores for a particular college but was rejected. Why? It turned out the student thought s/he was such a slam dunk obvious admission to this college the student never wrote the required essay. It turns out the required essay was actually required!

The audio quality can be a little better, but the content is worth it. Definitely check this one out.

    Ins and Outs of College You Don't Know
    Steve Schwartz does an excellent job explaining, or finding others to help explain the ins and out of college admissions, and college success. It's unfortunate that collegiate institutions have made things so incredibly complicated, but it's relieving to know, a guy like Steve is out there looking out for new and returning students.
  • general hannibal of robots

    Just in time for the new year!
    Glad I found this podcast. I’m a college instructor who is looking for resources for my newer students who are struggling in some of these areas. I really think this podcast is a great way to get through to students with skills like note-taking, writing papers, and taking exams. Great engaging approach and very informative. Keep it up!

  • Caleb Varoga
    Super Helpful Resource!
    I just finished listening to episode 38 about how to ace the SAT, and I think it’s a greatly helpful resource for kids who are having trouble trying to figure out where to start when studying. I remember having huge SAT prep books that were overwhelming and I didn’t quite know where to begin. Definitely going to share this podcast with my brother who’s a sophomore in high school. Thanks!
  • Lordcheez

    Where Were You When I Needed You?
    Great podcast! Would have been great to have when I applied to college back in the day — but alas, am psyched this will be around for the day my son applies. Really thoughtful episodes, very nicely done!
  • KyleSQ9
    Kids these days and their highly informative podcasts
    Man, back in my senior year of high school (2010) I had no idea about the existance of these fancy smancy podcasts. I was just like most high schooers, in that everybody was like "You have to go to college" and just left it to me to fend on my own. Sure I used books, but books don't have a passionate host talking to interesting people about the reality of the world of college admissions. If you're a high schooler, or if you have a high schooler, listen to this show, it'll answer so many quesitons I never could find the answers to during my college application process.
  • JevMan
    Very informative
    Really great information about the college admissions process in a very easy to digest and understand format.
  • HassMedia
    Worth for Grades 11/12 and College Freshmen
    When students are in that grade, you have so much pressure put on you and so many hoops to jump through just to get to an acceptance form, and then beyond. This show should help many students out from questions regarding Financial Aid to how college classrooms differ from high school. Steve is here to help you out, and I would recommend going back to early episodes if you're a new listener, but picking the problems you might have while in college or in that final year of graduating will help too.
  • FlutterBee520
    Where Have You Been?
    I am a non-traditional college student (aka not in my 20's) and some of the things I go through can be quite overwhelming. I really could have used a show like this to get me through those first cople semesters! But, hey, better late than never. I am glad you folks are around to help people like me.
  • mooncity
    Good Info For the College-Bound
    This podcast is a really good resource for college students-to-be and their parents. The audio is sometimes a bit squirrelly, but the informaton isn't. Good interviews and information covering a wealth of topics for the high school graduate looking to enter higher education.

    Very informative
    Applying to college is such a tricky balancing act and this podcast provides some very good insight. A lot of it may be things that you can find in college prep books or online, but here it is presented in an interesting and helpful way!
