Ep 19 :: Protecting Our Kids with Technology

Today Megan is joined by a long time friend who is now a college admissions counselor. They discuss all things “college prep” as well as things like, “Does taking a gap year ruin your chances of getting into a good school?” It really is never too early to simply open the door to what the process looks like. Jayme Geeslin helps to de-mystify the whole ball of wax. This is helpful, no matter what season you’re in!
