Have you ever wondered what really happens during the college admissions process?

Don't despair their decision doesn't mean that your student is not a good student or you did a bad job at parenting - it just means that at this time your student is not a fit for their university.

Be an informed parent! Get involved as early as possible in the process. An informed parent usually results in a lower cost for the education.

Key Essentials Yield Success!

When compiling a list of schools you are considering, do not eliminate a school because you think it may be too expensive. Private institutions have endowment funds, which are used to attract students they would most like to enroll.

Colleges first distribute the government's money (grants, work-study, and loans) as mandated, and then offer their own funds to the most attractive candidates.

Hot Tip ...

When you start your college search, explore all of your options, regardless of cost.

When all said and done you should apply to at least 6 schools!!!!!
