Keep Calm and Carry On: A Prologue to the New Admissions Season

Kicking Off Season Six of the Admissions Beat, host Lee Coffin of Dartmouth welcomes listeners back to school as another admissions cycle commences. Raising the curtain on the admissions process for high school juniors and seniors, as well as their parents and counselors, Coffin and his guests offer a sampler of “news you can use,” with tips on everything from managing the stress of the search and application process to sizing up an institution’s “fit” and “vibe,” to understanding the impact of last year’s Supreme Court decision on race as a factor in admissions. This week’s guests are Charlotte Albright, former public radio host and reporter, and Jacques Steinberg, former New York Times journalist and co-author of “The College Conversation.” Whether you are a first-time listener or an AB veteran, Coffin and his guests have much to offer as they look ahead toward the upcoming podcast season.
