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. High schools are welcome to use this website.
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 monthly 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!
