For millions of American teenagers and their parents, adolescence is increasingly defined by one all-consuming goal: Getting into the right college.
“Getting In” is a real-time podcast following a diverse group of New York-area high school seniors through the exhilarating and harrowing process of applying to college. The series is hosted by Julie Lythcott-Haims, the former Dean of Freshmen at Stanford University and author of “How to Raise an Adult.”
The season will chronicle all the important steps along the way, from applications to (we hope) acceptances. The students will get advice from a stellar panel of experts, including former admissions officials from schools such as Princeton and UVA, and from experienced high school guidance counselors. The experts will also answer listeners’ questions.
Nothing can remove the stress and uncertainty of the modern college application process, but “Getting In” aims to provide both teens and their parents with the kind of knowledgeable companionship that will at least make them feel they’re not alone.

Host Julie Lythcott-Haims and expert Amy Young
react to the criticism that's bubbled up around the Harvard report proposing
sweeping changes to college admissions. Plus, they get an update from Getting
In senior August Graves who this week received a notification from a college.
And Julie and Amy answer listener questions. Amy is the director of college counseling at
Avenues, an independent school in New York City. Listener questions this week include one from a
mom who's daughter is a serious athlete. She wonders if devoting all summer
between junior and senior year to soccer practice could affect her daughter's
admissions chances. A high school student in Germany, who has already skipped
two grades, says he'll be 16 by the time he starts college. How will colleges
view his young age? And, a parent planning a spring break tour of colleges with
her son has discovered many of the colleges have the same spring break-- and so
no classes will be in session. Is it still a good time to tour schools? Send questions, comments, and follow us on
