Summary: Ted welcomes guest and friend Candice Frankel, a college counselor with 25 years of experience. Candice founded her own company,<a href="http://frankelcollegecounseling.com/index.html"> Frankel College Counseling</a>, to assist students and their parents in the application process. In addition, she created <a href="http://www.theedwin.com/">The Edwin</a>, a personalized organizational tool designed to yield fantastic college options. <br> As her own 10th grade daughter has recently become a client of Ted’s company, Candice reflects on her experience with college prep as a parent vs. as an administrator. Ted probes deeper into why parents might need a professional college counselor to guide them and their child in their college process. (4:35)<br> Candice and Ted discuss the college counselor cynicism spectrum; namely how much should a counselor or parent encourage a student to tailor their experiences to a particular college’s application. Candice sees this situation as a problem, an “upside-down” way to address a student and their goals. (9:50)<br> Ted and Candice discuss the best time to start thinking about college, common misconceptions about the application and admission processes, and the benefits of college tours. (16:14)<br> Ted asks Candice the Question of the Day, a writing and language problem from the old SAT format. This particularly tricky question reminds Ted of what he misses about the old SAT and hates about the new one.
