Seniors: The Next Decisions are Yours

Admissions Beat

Throughout their senior year of high school, but particularly in recent weeks, applicants for the college Class of 2027 have been receiving admissions decisions. Over the next four weeks, the tables will turn, as those students — in consultation with parents, counselors, and others — weigh a series of decisions of their own, based on the choices now in front of them. “In that time, you’re going to make an informed decision about where you see yourself,’’ says Admissions Beat host Lee Coffin, dean of admissions and financial aid at Dartmouth. “This episode, we’ll help you go from here to there.” Joining Coffin for that discussion are two veteran counselors and returning guests: Darryl Tiggle, director of college counseling at Friends School of Baltimore, and Jennifer Simons, senior manager at Bright Horizons College Coach, a company that offers college guidance to corporate employees as a benefit.
