Today I am sitting down with Hillary Higgins, the Associate Director of College Counseling at The Nueva School and a former USC Admissions Counselor.
We dive into the following topics...
- How important it is for the student to decide if they want to share their mental health on their college app
- Talking about your mental health journey in a solution-focused way to showcase your growth and perseverance
- Why having navigated mental health in high school can make you a better college applicant
- If your mental health impacted your grades, how to address this in your application
- Unique ways to research colleges to find your perfect fit without visiting the campus
