June 20, 2026
Hosts: Louis Pierro, Attorney, Pierro, Connor & Strauss and Special Guest Dr. Dean Skarlis, The College Advisor of New York⁠⁠
The college admissions process is constantly changing, with evolving testing requirements, rising tuition costs, and new financial aid considerations. On this episode of Life Happens Radio, host Lou Pierro welcomes Dr. Dean Skarlis, Founder and President of The College Advisor of New York, to discuss today’s college admissions landscape, financial aid strategies, and practical planning tips for students and parents. Lou will also explain why young adults should have essential legal documents, including a power of attorney and health care proxy, before leaving for college. Plus, hear Jordan and Cameron Pierro share insights from their own college search experiences.
