Subject: Cushioning Your Fall on the Common App

Common Common App Faux Pas

We don't believe the creators of the Common App (it opened on August 1st, by the way) really intended to inflict pain on anyone, but it IS sometimes painful to get through it.

Since we are big proponents of causing as little pain as possible for others, we've compiled a list of common glitches that can occur while filling out the application.

If you avoid these faux pas, we can't promise the other painful "stuff" will disappear, but there will definitely be less of it.

Protecting Your Tuition Investment

College is expensive, and anything that might get in the way of that big investment should be avoided.

BUT, things do happen: Students lose things, students break things, things get stolen, accidents happen and students don't complete their learning time on campus for various reasons.

So, how does a parent cover themselves for these potential losses?

One way is with insurance.

Click here to learn all about the various types of insurance you might consider before sending your student off to college.

Valedictorians at the Gate, Becky Munsterer Sabky.

Searching for an SAT/ACT Tutor?

For those students who opt to take standardized tests, finding an affordable, knowledgeable, online tutor who adjusts their teaching style to your student's learning style can be a time-consuming and expensive process.

That's why Learner has shaken things up in the test prep world and created a proprietary screening and vetting process that does just that-- matches your child's learning style to the tutor most likely to instill confidence in their test-taking, and helps them achieve their test-taking goals.

With three test-prep packages to choose from, a 100% risk-free guarantee, and the first session FREE for the Road2College community, there's no reason to settle for a generic test-prep fit.

My goal is to provide affordable services, insightful information and a support system so your family can make more informed decisions about college.

Feel free to respond to this email with any questions you have.
