#HowIHowTo Put a “Dream School” lens on every college you consider for your list.

🗒️ I recently co-hosted a presentation by/discussion with Occidental College (“Oxy”). Afterwards, I put Oxy to the “Dream School” test.

Selingo’s 4 Key Criteria
1️⃣ A Supportive start
2️⃣ Easy connections
3️⃣ Real job experience
4️⃣ Good ROI: Value over prestige

I came up with some pretty compelling evidence for Oxy under each of the four criteria. And its liberal arts core means students will graduate with the critical thinking, analytical thinking, and writing skills that are so important as the world adapts to AI; as well as the foundation to be lifelong learners.

Is Occidental College a “Dream School” for you?
Only you can decide.

The 'best' student dispatch agency is a myth.
I tried three firms promising placement in Austria and the USA. Only one delivered a real admission and hands‑on consulting. If you want to study abroad, demand actual placement records, not glossy promises. 🎓

I stopped wasting money on Student Dispatch Agencies.

The so‑called best Student Dispatch Services for sending students to Austria or the US charge $4k for a glossy brochure. I got into both Austria and the US by doing the research myself. Direct consulting + self‑application = saved cash and a real spot. 🎓
