If You're Looking for Zen, You've Come to the Wrong Place

College admissions is not Zen...we cannot lie. 

The entire process can be mind-boggling, frustrating, and exasperating, BUT, if you prepare yourself for what's to come and familiarize yourself with steps in the process, you will fare much better than someone who does not. 

We've put together a few tips and tricks that can help you stay sane, if not relaxed.(And a neck massage every now and then couldn't hurt.) Ommmm...

Tips and tricks are here.
Paying for College: What's the Real Price?

We've recently had a number of eye-opening discussions with author Ron Lieber about his book, The Price You Pay For College. (Here is a link to one of our discussions.) 

And we've been lucky enough to have an excerpt from that book right here.

As Ron says, "There is a system that operates behind the scenes to distribute these discounts that itself requires about $1 billion of annual care and feeding.

It works in part by manipulating you emotionally. 

And because you may not be expecting a sly, soft sell, you probably don’t know to look out for it."

What's Up Ahead on The Road...

Parents of 9th, 10th, and 11th graders...Don't miss this!

Three-Part Webinar Series with Author/Expert Jeff Selingo and Special Guests

Getting Into College: The Complicated Truth About College Admissions 

Join New York Times bestselling author Jeff Selingo as he provides an inside view of the college admissions process, followed by 
a live Q and A. (See dates below.)

This special three-part webinar series (sponsored by College Ave Student Loans) will explore the details of the selection process, from both the college and the student/family side. 

How colleges evaluate students for admission and give out financial aid has a lot more to do with the college or university’s priorities than with whether or not your student is qualified. Deciphering the selection, merit scholarship, and financial aid processes has become even more important with the impact of the pandemic on college admissions and higher ed overall. 

As parents with a 9th, 10th or 11th graders, it's so important to understand the admissions and college funding processes in advance of the summer and fall of 12th grade. 

Don’t miss this important series packed with practical tips, behind-the-scenes insights, and candid conversation.
