In the first episode of Beyond the Acceptance Letter, junior Anisha Mandem interviews senior Riley Wanasek as she talks about her experiences with graduating her and advice on how to balance school and social life.

The college application process is stressful for many students, and many find that they lack the proper resources or guidance to make the most of their future. Beyond the Acceptance Letter is a podcast that aims to provide the proper resources to find which pathway is the best for their future and the tips and tricks to getting into your dream school.

In this episode of BTAL, the host talks to senior Riley Wanasek, a PHS student who decided to graduate high school a year early — prompting her decision to pursue this pathway and her advice on figuring out the best plan for the future.
