The Proper Use of AI in College Planning and Admissions
My Conversation with Warren Buck of Future Finders
I recently spoke with Warren Buck of Future Finders. Warren’s background as a teacher and principal informs his work today, helping students with college and career planning.
In our conversation, Warren and I discussed:
The proper use of AI in college planning and essays
How to build a weighted college list that works for your teen
The importance of including your budget in your college planning process
How scholarships can open additional college options
Why high stats are not enough to secure admissions and scholarships, and how to stand out with your applications
Future planning for both college-bound and non-college-bound students
