Our thanks to George Fan and College Kickstart LLC for compiling the follow statistics to help us understand student outcomes for college admission in fall 2016. Independent consultants and school-base counselors alike saw some of their top students wait listed or turned down at colleges that in past years had been sure “50-50” and “safety” schools.
As families seek to understand the increased competitiveness across the board, students are trying to make their college choice. Financial aid packages are being examined, closely. Do not hesitate to contact with financial aid office to meet and discuss the award, and request additional grant.
College loans can be onerous. It is worth the effort to meet or speak with a financial aid officer and request an additional grant to make it possible for you to attend.
