| | | The Complicated Truth About Getting Into College
Join New York Times bestselling author Jeff Selingo as he provides an inside view of the college admissions process, followed by live Q and A (see dates and session topics below).
This special three-part webinar series will explore how colleges evaluate students for admission and give out financial aid. You'll learn why much of the process has to do with the college or university’s priorities rather than with whether or not your student is qualified.
As a parent with a 9th, 10th or 11th grader, it’s 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.

College Insights compiles data from multiple sources and includes over 6000 crowdsourced college offers from college bound families from the past three years.
Here are different ways to use College Insights:
- Check colleges already on your student's colleges list to review if the colleges offer merit scholarships, and if so how much and what did other students receive.
- Do a reverse-lookup: Enter your student's stats and preferences (major, location, size), select to match students in the 75th percentile and review the results of colleges. Sort the columns of "Avg Merit Amount" and "% of Students without Financial Need" in descending order.
- Look for schools with Early Action. If you find a college where your student can apply early action, there's NO downside, only an upside of your student getting a merit scholarship and knowing earlier in the admissions process.
