Rethinking College Dream Schools: A Conversation with Jeff Selingo

IN THIS EPISODE New York Times bestselling author Jeff Selingo and I discuss his latest book, Dream School. Jeff and I talked about why getting into a highly selective college isn't necessarily the key to long-term success and what the data actually shows about how students from less selective, smaller schools go on to build equally fulfilling careers. Jeff and I explored how students can define success on their own terms and why focusing on fit and experience often leads to better outcomes than chasing prestige. Whether you're a student figuring out your next step or a parent trying to support your child through the college search process, this conversation offers practical advice and a much-needed perspective shift. * * * * * * * * * BEST FIRST YEAR College Success Coaching for Parents (and students) Join access to Harlan’s Best First Year College Success and Coaching Program for Parents (and students).
