Show Notes

Join Aaron Nielsen for the second episode of our student-produced podcast series where students explore a variety of options after high school. Aaron talks peer-to-peer with a student attending Auburn and another at Columbia, to learn how they landed at these universities, how they’ve grown in their first year, advice on how to stand out among the applicants, and what they plan to do next. In addition, Aaron gets a different perspective from Student Success Coach, Diane Berris, who discusses what colleges are looking for in applicants today, and what it takes for students to successfully apply.
