À propos de cet audio
In this episode of Don't Chuck It Up, college counselor Chuck returns from a holiday hiatus to kick off 2026 with a deep dive into the 2025 podcast data and essential advice for the year ahead. Chuck reveals that since its October 2024 launch, the podcast has reached nearly 3,000 streams across 30 countries, with a global audience particularly active on YouTube. The episode transitions into a candid discussion about the college search and application process, emphasizing that it is a marathon, not a sprint.
Chuck acknowledges the high stress levels fueled by social media "perfection," confusing application portals, and the heavy influx of university communications. To combat this, he outlines six actionable strategies for families: taking a breath away from social media, organizing the campus visit calendar, meticulously reading college communications, dealing with the reality of rejection, understanding financial aid costs, and maintaining optimism. Whether you are a senior facing the May 1st deadline or a junior just starting, this episode provides the clarity and confidence needed to navigate the journey to higher education.
