Welcome
This website will provide a simplified easy way to navigate the college
process.
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.
This free web site will provide answers to your many college planning
questions in a simplified organized manner in order to help you with
your college planning needs.
You won't be asked to give your name or provide other personal
information. It's all free for you.
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.
LATEST NEWS:
Stanford University will offer optional alumni interviews for the
2009-10 admissions cycle at the following locations: Atlanta, Denver,
London, Massachusetts, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York City,
Philadelphia, Portland, and Raleigh Durham. See the Highly Selective
Colleges page on this website for more information.
College Board has approved an important change to the current SAT
score-reporting policy.
Students are able to select which scores they send to colleges by
sitting (test date) for the SAT and by individual test for SAT Subject
Tests.
Students can send any or all scores to a college on a single report.
Students who complete a test prior to the launch for the new
score-reporting feature (March 2009) will be able to take advantage of
this option when sending past or future scores.
