Sinopsis

Ross Barkan, journalist and former democratic State Senate candidate, phones in to talk about what’s on the ballot this year for NYC residents. Then, college applications are always a long and difficult process, but especially so for minority and low-income students. Brian is joined by Juliane Dressner, director of a new documentary “Personal Statement”, which explores the fraught landscape and follows three NYC students competing for scholarships and acceptance into four-year colleges.
