Post by Decision Drop

It's FINALLY here. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast app. The college application process can feel like a roller coaster: overwhelming, noisy, and exhausting. Drop In: A Decision Drop Podcast is here to change that. Hosted by Lisa Brown Clay and Josh Hudley, the founders and college admissions experts behind Decision Drop, this podcast offers real, practical guidance for high school students and their families. Lisa spent 11 years inside admissions at UT Austin and Texas A&M, followed by 14 years on the high school side helping students and families across Texas, Oklahoma, and Florida find colleges where they genuinely thrive, not just get in. Josh spent three years reviewing applications at Washington University in St. Louis and the last 22 years in school counseling at some of Houston’s most respected public and independent schools. Together, they have guided thousands of students through the college search and application process with honesty, strategy, and a deep belief that the student’s voice should stay at the center of it all. Each week, Lisa and Josh break down the process: essays, college lists, testing, financial aid, deadlines, resumés, and everything in between. They bring warmth, humor, honesty, and the kind of insider perspective most families never get access to. No jargon. No fear-mongering. No prestige panic. No one-size-fits-all advice. Just REAL conversations with two people who genuinely love this work and know the process inside and out. DROP IN for new episodes every week.
