The Student Perspective In each of the first two segments, Beth’s guests shared their unique college search stories. Lexi began her very thoughtful search by tagging along on college visits with her older brother, then researching and applying to a variety of schools through Regular Decision, finally making her college decision right before May 1. C.J. also researched a variety of schools, just as Lexi did, but he applied and was accepted to his first choice through Early Decision. Both had marvelous (and unscripted!) insights to share – you won’t want to miss it. College Finance Questions Answered Beth wrapped up the show with finance expert Michelle Clifton, who valiantly answered several college finance questions submitted by our listeners. We’ll be answering college finance questions on the second show of the month from here on out, so feel free to submit your questions. We’ll see you tomorrow for an all-new show all about college admissions!
