College: What They Don’t Tell You
This week, we sat down with Shalini Sinha, education consultant and Founder of Pathlight Advisors, to unpack what really matters in the college admissions journey — and it’s not just about applications and test scores.

- The importance of balancing academics and extracurriculars, with consistency in focus
- How to manage the very real anxiety faced by both teens and parents
- Why building healthy habits in middle school matters more than choosing a college early
