MORE COLLEGE INFORMATION TO NOTE

As I am meeting with college admissions reps this year,  there are many thing that are changing.  First, there have been mamy budget cuts in Californa making the UCs  (Berkley(CAL), UCLA, UCSD, UCI,  UCR, UCSB, UCSC, UCF, UCD and UCM) ,  USC, Stanford, and LMU extremely competitive schools to get into, and there is changes in the Early Action, Early Decision, and Early Action, Single Decision.

Additionally, Class Size has been cut, tuition has gone up 35% for residents, and it takes about 4-6 years to graduate from these schools, especially the UCs. Many students this year are looking to out of state schools, and those schools are on the admission trail.

As a result, California has become the fifth largest market to other states, and so Colleges and Universities of other states are now targeting the California market in hopes of cashing in on us.

So now, I am giving you dates to mark on your calendars as provided for by admissions rep. Getting your application early in many cases is helping you gain free scholarship money to pay for your schooling.

As the early decision process is coming to a close, make sure to keep up on your time line.  Know when things are due.  Make sure to get your letters of recommendation requested, and get your SAT/ ACT scores ordered to all schools.

Good luck with applying, and remember, if you need extra help in connecting the dots of the admissions process, THE COLLEGE ADMISSIONS CONSULTANT is here to help you.
