Lindsay reveals how her son's full ride to Alabama honors college started as a strategy but became a game-changer.

She breaks down the actionable strategy behind this success, focusing on using rolling admissions for early wins, understanding the difference between being admitted versus recruited, and leveraging the Common Data Set to identify schools where a student will stand out at the top of the applicant pool.
