A practical, no-nonsense college admissions podcast for parents and high school students navigating the increasingly complex world of college applications, standardized testing, and academic planning.
At Kingfisher Prep, we spend our days working closely with students and families—brainstorming essays, refining applications, and building strategies that help students gain admission to schools they’re genuinely excited about. Over time, we started noticing something: The most helpful moments in our sessions often come from specific, practical guidance—the kind of advice that’s hard to find in a general Google search. So we created something to share that more widely.
Applying to college can feel overwhelming, especially the first time you hear about platforms like the Common Application. In this episode, Kingfisher Prep explains how students apply to college, what the Common App is, who should create an account, and when students actually need to start filling it out. This episode is ideal for high school juniors, seniors, and parents who want a clear, low-stress introduction to the college application process.
