Parents of high schoolers – this one’s for you. You are often the unsung hero of the college admission process. Parenting through college admission is a challenge. How do you help, but not overstep? How do you encourage, but not push? How do you secretly get them to be excited about your alma mater?
USC Viterbi Parents Give Advice
Last week was Trojan Family Weekend here at USC. In addition to a number of other activities (Concert by Berlin, Football Game, Sitting in on Classes, Parent Seminars, etc) we had hundreds of our current USC Viterbi Parents join us for Breakfast With The Dean. We thought it would be fun to set up our podcast mics in the back and grab a few to chat.
Parents of freshmen through seniors talked about their experience with the college admission process, their students’ current activities and accomplishments, and advice for parents going through admission this year.
Give the episode a listen and let us know your thoughts. What questions are you still grappling with? How we can we help you better understand the process and hopefully bring the stress level down?

Rodney – I am not sure if you received my other message, but I replied to your other comment on my other post. I recommend setting up a campus tour for that morning and give me a call at 213 740 4530. I have some limited availability that morning.
