Welcome to Real College Talk! RCT is your destination for honest and relevant college and postsecondary conversation. We bring the best of the best to our podcast to share both their personal and professional experiences and advice regarding all things school, college, career paths, and life in general.
On this week's episode, we welcome Nick Matthews, a sophomore transfer student at Michigan State University who had plenty to share on his unique college application process. Nick tailored his college plans to his position on DECA’s High School Executive Officer Team (1:26), so he definitely has good insights into how high schoolers can commit themselves to a plan before college even starts (5:36). Nick provides some valuable tips on the transfer application process (9:08) and specific details on the timeline of his transfer application (12:59). Things switch gears when Nick dishes on how he got an internship in New York City and the importance of starting as soon as possible (14:46). He learned quite a bit during his time in NYC, both from a professional (17:27) and personal (19:42) perspective.
