[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't want to make any assumptions, but elite college admissions may not be what you're looking for here.  If this is an average kid, here are some factors to consider:

1) NO FOR-PROFIT OR ONLINE COLLEGES.  They are awful and will steal his money and leave him in debt.

2) The random links that people post here for information may actually be lead generation sites for for-profit colleges, so be careful.

3) As a rule, you want to look at public colleges. They provide the best value. Unless this student is academically advanced, he is unlikely to find an affordable private college that is worth the investment.

3.5) The most important factor to look for is: how does this school do at GRADUATING students with this student's background?

4)  Students coming from a non-traditional background do better the more support they have in school, and they more they are able to focus on schooling. So look for schools that have a great record in supporting kids, and minimize the amount of hours he works during the week.

5) Montgomery Community College has a relatively solid reputation as a community college. It's worth considering. They have a special program to support first generation college students.  http://cms.montgomerycollege.edu/EDU/Department.aspx?id=8654

6) Ask the school counselor for resources for first generation college students.[/quote]

Classic.  The poster says to beware random links and then proceeds to post one.  SMH.

So much bad info in this post.  [/quote]
