The first thing that we noticed is that for students from foreign countries, more documentation is being required, such as picture IDs, Video Presentations, etc. The other change that we noticed was that schools like the UCs are now looking at the middle school records. Additionally, some schools that would accept a transfer in the spring semester, are moving away from that idea and only accepting for admission into September.
As we wind down the 2013, we are now signing up the Class of 2014, knowing that the competition for next year will be even more so. It is not that there are more students going to college, that percentage has dropped some in recent years, but what we are seeing is that more students are applying to more schools.
If you are in the 11th grade, this is the time to start your application process. The longer you wait, the more difficult and more stressful the process becomes. If you are looking for help, check out our website ---
