SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
Senior year is finally here—and according to Sarah Bergin, Director of College Consulting at Evolved Education, this is where clarity, strategy, and strong decision-making truly matter. While many families think senior year is only about applications, Sarah reminds listeners that it's about much more: managing deadlines, navigating multiple application portals, completing financial aid steps, and choosing the best-fit college where a student can truly thrive.
She emphasizes the importance of building a balanced college list, maintaining strong grades, and finishing with integrity. Essays should reflect authentic growth, not perfection. Applications require thoughtful storytelling, careful portal management, and attention to every deadline. And when financial aid enters the conversation, organization becomes even more essential.
Most importantly, Sarah encourages families to reduce stress, avoid procrastination, and trust the process.
You'll learn:
- Build a balanced list: reach, target, and likely schools
- Stay organized with applications, deadlines, and portal management
- Maintain authenticity in essays and decision-making
- Focus on choosing the best-fit college, not just the most prestigious
Senior year is about finishing strong and positioning students to thrive. If your family needs clarity or guidance through applications, deadlines, or financial aid, Sarah invites you to reach out for thoughtful, strategic support.
