Show Sponsors:
Countdown to College Radio Show covers anything and everything related to preparing for--and getting into--college. In each show, we get the inside scoop from college admissions personnel, college professors, and other experts discussing topics such as high school coursework, summer activities, application essays, standardized testing, financial aid, and the emotional ups and downs that most families experience as the family teen makes the transition to young adulthood. In most episodes, we also do a college profile to introduce listeners to colleges they may not know much about (or have never heard of) to help give a sense of the vast array of college choices available to today's high-school students.
Host Bio:
Show producer and host Beth Pickett graduated with distinction from Stanford University in 1986. She holds a College Counseling Certificate (also with distinction) from UCLA and is an adjunct college admissions counselor at the Grauer School in Encinitas, California.
