TIMESTAMPS BELOW. This is a general college application and prep Q&A! We start college in the fall of 2021, so this episode is a reflection on the process we went through in the last few years. We are not experts, but we do enjoy reflecting on our college experience and hopefully offering some tips to help demystify your experience. Feel free to message us on Instagram @scentofsuccess_ if you have more questions :)
