About this episode
A student's college application could be compared to a pie. There are several pieces in the college application pie: transcript, resume, essay(s). But the largest piece is the student's GPA (Grade Point Average). The beginning of a school year is a great time to revisit this most important component of a college application. With his typical anecdotes and illustrations, Dr. Riley (from collegeapp101.com) takes up the topic of GPA, providing practical tips to college bound students on earning a high GPA.
