Ep #431: A Guide to College Admissions for School Leaders and Families with Warren Buck

About this episode

Angela Kelly interviews Warren Buck about supporting students and families through the college admissions process.

What if preparing students for life after high school felt less overwhelming for both families and school leaders? In this episode, I sit down with Warren Buck, founder of Future Finders, to explore how we can better support students and families through the college admissions process. Warren brings a unique perspective as a former teacher and principal who now works directly with families to help students navigate their options after high school. Join us this week as we explore how the college admissions landscape has changed, why it can feel so complex and overwhelming, and how students benefit from having a guide who can help them explore possibilities, clarify their goals, and take ownership of their future. You'll learn what families and educators should prioritize early in the college planning process, the importance of focusing on school fit rather than rankings, and how to help students tell their authentic story through their application materials.
