[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For everyone offended by OPs attitude, you may not get it. A lot of people think that applying to any college is the same; it isn’t. A successful application to George Mason can be ripped out in moments, but not one for a highly selective school. Successfully applying to a highly selective school takes advanced planning and careful application work. Most average families have no clue about this. That’s why they keep going to the same schools and repeating the same patterns of their parents. Half the job of doing better in life is to expand your worldview to know what is possible and how to achieve it. [/quote]

Agree. Some of you snobs apparently aren’t aware that not every family has been going to college for generations. Choosing among the enormous array of college options & navigating the admissions & financial aid applications is completely new to many people, & unlike anything they have ever done. Not only do they not know the answers, they often don’t know what questions to ask. I would let it be known that you would be glad to help out, but don’t push it past that. [/quote]
