It’s no secret that getting into your dream school takes a lot more than good grades and high SAT scores. Many schools also look for student leaders--but of course, not everyone wants to be student body president or captain of the varsity team. On this episode of Quiet, Susan Cain will show you how to help your quiet teen navigate the college application process and how to get into the school that’s right for her. Plus, we’ll give practical tips to help your introvert adjust to campus life once she gets there.
