[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting into college now is actually MUCH EASIER now than it was in 2010: 1) Don't focus on top logos and focus instead on what your kid wants to learn, location, vibe, program. 2) Look up which school offers merit aid. Don't pay full price for college when there are so many discounts on offer 3) Don't do ED unless you're an athlete trying to get on a roster and your kid really wants to play their sport. 4) Don't be sheep following the crowd, make up your own ideas. 5) Do take standardized tests. They are mattering more due to inflated grades and unprepared students. 6) Take rigor that challenges your kid, but won't burn them out.[/quote] Agreed. Life is getting expensive and oil prices going up. Save money. Get merit money if you are smart![/quote]
