The College Explorer – BACK TO SCHOOL Newsletter

BACK TO SCHOOL

WELCOME BACK!  It’s been a long, long road for most high school students, who haven’t been on their campus for awhile.

Back to school means college application season is here for seniors.  For parents, here are our Four Keys to College Admission Success.  To help you get started on building that balanced college list, here’s our quick tutorial on 
how to research a college.

Juniors – we have some tips for you also!

Parents:  Learn how the college financial aid process works, and start to think about what you really want to spend on four years of college.  After reading this blog post and watching the webinar (about 35 minutes), go to the practice EFC Calculator on the College Board’s website to start to understand what colleges will expect you to pay.

PARENT CORNER
College admission looks very different today than it did when we applied 20-something years ago.  Admission rates are a fraction of what they were when we applied – and the process is much more unpredictable.  You can work with your child through the process, but it’s ok to ask for help from experts.
