Adam Miller, vice president for admissions and financial aid at Whitman College, is pulling back the curtain to give us an exclusive look at how college admissions really work. In this episode, he brings fresh insight and energy to the conversation, sharing how parents can best support their child’s college journey, what makes a standout application essay, and why now is an especially promising time to apply. We dive into the current state of college admissions, from the decline in high school graduates to the drop in applications, and how these shifts are leading to more opportunities for students as acceptance rates rise.
