I rarely recommend a web site but this is a great site for parents and
students. www.usnews.com
is a wonderful site for parents and students.
US
News sends a questionnaire to every college in
the country and compiles the results in an easy to find format. It will
tell you what
SAT
scores you will need for any college, it will
tell you the actual cost of a college, and the good news is that they
tell the truth. The bad news is that the information found there now is
for this year. The figures for next year will be updated in late August.
Access to the site costs $14.95 but it is well worth it. You may want to
wait until August to register so you will see updated information.
Students are welcome to use my laptop any day after school to access the
site now. This site can really be helpful as it also will tell you how
important the various parts of the application are. For some schools,
it’s all about
SAT
scores; for other schools it’s more important
to have a high GPA. You can use the site to find a school that meets
your needs and is looking for someone just like you. To access the site
go to the address listed above and look for “best colleges”. This
will take you to the part of the site you will use. |
