613: Inside the Application (Part 6): Making the Decision with Cassidy, Class of 2025

Hi friends, and welcome back to the podcast.

This one’s going to be short—and honestly, it’s an episode I didn’t think I was going to record. Why? Well, if you’ve been following along with Cassidy’s journey over the past year, you know we’ve covered a lot: from brainstorming her personal statement, to revising her supplements, to weighing her college acceptances.

And when we wrapped Part 5, I figured we could leave it there. I thought it might be enough to know she had some great options.

Silly me.

You wrote in. You wanted to know: Where did she end up?

So here we are: the final chapter (well, really the beginning) of Cassidy’s college journey. In this quick update, Cassidy shares where she’s heading this fall, why she chose it, and how she’s getting ready for this next step. Huge thanks to Cassidy for letting us in on the process. 

I hope you enjoy.
