How Colleges Admit Students

With only half of the students in the U.S. having had the opportunity to take the SAT or the ACT, how will colleges make these important decisions?  Our most recent blog post, What is Holistic College Admission?, will help you understand.

If you have a senior getting started with their college essays, our College Essay Guidance post has great resources for brainstorming, developing, polishing and finalizing essays!

Hopefully this will help you #StressLess about your son or daughter’s college admission journey.

Know the financial aid basics: Some colleges, but NOT ALL, give merit aid. Know your EFC.  More on that here.

College Admissions Testing
  • Most colleges are test-optional for the Class of 2021 but will they have the same policy for  future classes as well?
  • Should your student still take the SAT or ACT?  Will they benefit from a test-optional process or not?
  • It depends.  Call us to discuss.
