The College Talk Show
When a student’s record includes a suspension, disciplinary action, or legal issue, families often assume college doors are closed for good. In reality, that’s rarely the full story.
In this episode of The College Talk Show, college admissions expert Hanna Stotland, JD joins host Chris Bell for an honest and hopeful conversation about second chances in college admissions. For more than two decades, Hanna has helped students recover from serious setbacks and move forward with clarity, integrity, and a well-thought-out strategy.
Rather than hiding from past mistakes, Hanna explains how students can take ownership of what happened, show genuine growth, and communicate their story effectively in the admissions process. From deciding where to address an issue in an application to understanding which colleges are more receptive to second-chance applicants, this conversation offers practical guidance and much-needed reassurance.
If you or your student is worried that a past mistake could define their future, this episode is an essential watch.
