College Admissions

Applying for college admissions is one of the most competitive and complicated projects ever tackled by high school students. Choosing a college requires balancing academic and social fit with financial fit. Otherwise, the student may get into the college of his or her dreams, but not necessarily the college of his or her means. Chasing a dream without paying attention to college affordability may force the student to drop out or graduate with too much student loan debt.
