Title of entry: College Admissions Insider

About this entry: Launched in 2020, Bucknell University's College Admissions Insider podcast meets prospective students (and their families) wherever they may be in the college process — from the first Google search to deciding where to enroll and beyond.

Our biweekly episodes feature real Bucknell admissions counselors, faculty and staff pulling back the curtain on need-to-know college topics. Is it okay to apply as an undecided major? What do readers really look for in a college application? How can students confidently choose the school that's right for them? Our show tackles these essential questions and much more, at times that are strategically relevant to students' place in the annual admissions cycle.

While the podcast features guests from our University divisions, our intentional big-picture approach to each subject makes College Admissions Insider a supportive guide for any student, regardless of where they plan to apply. In just over two years, our show has seen more than 44,000 downloads in 138 countries. A runtime of 30 minutes or less ensures our audience gets the insight they need in an easy-to-consume audio package.
