Summary

It’s college application season for thousands of high school seniors across the country — and the ones who love them.

We sat down with independent university admissions counselor and founder and CEO of IvyWise, Dr. Kat Cohen, to talk not just about reigning in the cost of college, but the cost of applying itself.
