This may come as no surprise from an admitted Yale student, but I listened to this podcast often in the months before and during my application process. Mark and Hannah do an amazing job covering various topics that students have to deal with when applying to colleges. Though there are a few things that Mark and Hannah talk about that are about Yale, the vast majority of their topics can be applied to all schools, especially other prestigious schools. I think it's a fun podcast that is extremely informative about all things college!
This comes from the wonderful Ms. Shackett! (Well, the next two podcasts are also from her, so if you can tell her hi and thank her for me, I'd appreciate it) Jason Brown who is the author of the book "IT IS POSSIBLE!: How I Earned Two Debt-Free Degrees...and How You Can, Too," talks about how difficult the current situation is for many students, how are we supposed to pay for college? Brown covers many different methods and pushes for better financial literacy from students to ensure they are making wise decisions in their higher education journeys.

Founder of FinLit University, is an advocate for minimizing student loans and debt by taking advantage of the multiple resources available for students to find and receive scholarships. He provides advice and information to students about this topic, and overall is a useful source for all students looking to make better financial decisions when it comes to paying for higher education.
He talks about the current merit-aid system and what to look for in a college. He provides great advice and insight to the whole process, and this podcast would be extremely helpful for students.
