#112 - Navigating Friendships During the College Admissions Process with Kate Proger
Manage episode 440139126 series 2951280
This week's friendship topic is the frenzy of college admissions and how it affects friendships between teens and how it potentially affects friendships between those teens' parents, too. Most importantly, we discuss how to approach the college admissions world with a level head!
Meet Kate Proger:
Kate Proger, is a college planning consultant and admissions expert. With degrees in both psychology and educational testing, as well as executive function coach training, Kate has helped hundreds of students find the university that is their perfect fit. (We discuss at length that there is more than one "right" fit.) Find Kate on her site: Kate Proger College Consulting.
We discussed:
- Book mentioned---Where You Go Is Not Who You Will Be: An Antidote to the College Admissions Mania by Frank Bruni
- Sharing information or not about where you're applying--privacy vs. intimacy
- Understanding that everyone has reasons for their list (budgets, distance, etc.). We cannot assume we know what's going on behind closed doors
- Being happy for your friends (or your friends' kids) when admissions decisions arrive
- The potential for parents to make some new friends in this next stage of parenting
- New social opportunities for college students to seek more of what you liked socially in high school and less of what you didn't enjoy
- The reality of kids "soiling the nest" before they leave or sometimes the exact opposite happens (glorifying the next)
- And more!
Let's connect over all things friendship!
