My co-host Carlos Sardó and I interview Maurice Pittman, who works at Idaho State University with TRIO Student Support Services as a Counselor/Advisor. Today's episode is the final episode of the 3 episodes with Maurice, and this episode is loaded with a great wealth of advice; The first two episodes were great, but as they say, “Save the Best for last.” Maurice will share his ideas on the current college application process, do you go away for college or stay close to home, strategies for applying to college, what about the issue of community service, athletics, activities; Do they really matter? What conversation should students be having with their parents during this application time? I hope you enjoy this final episode with Maurice Pittman.
