[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My (great)nephew went to FCPS and part of their English homework (or maybe even in class work) was to write the common app essay and complete the common app. I think they did school administered SATs too. This is seriously what prompted him to apply to college. His father didn't go to college and his mother got a two year degree from NVCC so he wasn't really encouraged or considering it before. So if it takes the school system pushing kids to apply to college whose families aren't then I think that's a good thing. While not all kids should  be going to college, there are plenty of kids who should who aren't on that path.[/quote]

I would also the students to hear a presentation about public and private colleges that give the most merit aid and what kind of scores (GPA and SAT's) are necessary to get those awards.  They could also hear about the specific universities that give the most financial aid and what it takes to get into those schools.  Most kids (without super-involved and knowledgeable parents) don't have a clue.[/quote]
