What happens if you pick your ideal college, you apply and get in, you attend first semester...and then you decide it's not for you? This can be a challenge for new freshman. First, the transition from high school to being away at college is a leap. But what if it's not what you thought, and you want to quit or go somewhere else? In this episode, Peter covers this topic that can be embarrassing or surprising for new freshman and what to do about it.

The SAT is something that many students stress about—especially if they take the test and don’t get as high of scores as they were hoping. What are some of the options you can consider if you don’t have a high test score (or typically don’t do so well on standardized tests) to still be able to get into your dream school? 1 - First, try test preparation. For example, ePrep and Revolution Prep. You can go to “cooltestprep.com” to find out more about test prep and sign up for it. 2 - Take the ACT. It’s another test, but you can use this instead if you want to try again. 3 - Go to test optional schools, like FairTest.org.
