Welcome
This free college planning website provides a simplified way to navigate
the college process. You will find answers to your many college
planning questions and you won't be asked to provide your name or any
other personal information.
YOU WILL LEARN...
How to begin the college process.
What it takes to get into a Highly Selective College.
How to appeal a college decision.
How high a score you need to qualify as a National Merit Semi-Finalist.
How to increase your chances if you are wait listed.
Tips and strategies for the college essay.
College opportunities for students with learning disabilities.
Options if you don't want to go to college.
Academic summer programs for high school students.
And much more.
How To Begin:
You may want to begin with the category Choosing A College. This
section will cover the basic information you need in order to get started.
If you are a junior or senior in high school, you should take a look at the
College Planning Calendar. This calendar includes a month-by-month
check-list of important things to do in the area of college planning.
As you continue your research, you may explore each category that
interests you. If you have questions that are not answered, you can send
an email or check the Frequently Asked Questions section.
After working for twenty-five years as a college/career advisor in a public
high school where 98% of the students attend college and 85% attend a
four year college, I have gained a great deal of knowledge about the
college process and I would like to share it with you.
Good luck with your college search!
