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.

Ep 6: Evaluating Your Financial Aid Package + Scholarship Strategies
Host Julie Lythcott-Haims and Getting In expert
Josh Steckel talk financial aid, scholarship strategies, plus they hear
an update from Getting In senior August Graves. Josh is the college counselor at the
Brooklyn School for Collaborative studies. He's also the author of Hold
Fast to Dreams: A College Guidance Counselor, His Students, and the Vision of a
Life Beyond Poverty. Josh lists the most important things seniors and
their families need to be doing right now if they're applying for financial
aid. And they still have time if they haven't yet. He explains how to compare
different schools' aid packages and how to figure out the net price. When it
comes to finding scholarship money, Josh says to think locally. Religious
groups, unions, non-profits, even law firms are a great source of scholarship
funds. Julie and Josh answer a multi-part listener
question about financial aid. The father who wrote in wonders how to find out a
college's true cost and asks how he should honestly talk about affordability with
his daughter.
