FACEBOOK LOSES THE "LIKES" TO YOUR PAGE(S)

One our website, we noticed a few days ago that our likes dropped from what is now 903 to 59,,,,,  What happened.  We filed a complaint and after several discussions trying to clarify the issues, we got this message a few minutes ago

"We have received a lot of complaints regarding users losing their FaceBook Like count on their WIX site.

We have approached FaceBook regarding this matter and have asked them to look into it.

Please note that the FaceBook API is the engine that is providing the counter for your FaceBook Like button.  This applies to the FaceBook Like Widget from WIX, as well as using FaceBook's code to generate the Like counter using the HTML App.

If you are experiencing a loss in your FaceBook Like count for your site's url, then please contact FaceBook regarding this matter.

You can raise an issue with FaceBook by contacting the FaceBook Help Center here."

So hope they do  fix this issue.   As far as I am concerned,  Facebook is the worse place to try to contact anyone to talk about a problem.  They post all kind of messages and it is so confusing that I usually say "forget it".. but today, I am really sad--  and upset,  and I dont think this issue will get resolved!

So if anyone did like our page, and you are not there.. please LIKE us again!   I lost something that at least made me feel people saw me..  now I am dust in dirt.

How Does A College Admissions Consultant Help You and Your Family

Today,  Due to the cut back in the schools,  Private College Admissions Consulting is a booming industry that offers to help families navigate the often-confusing and stressful process of college admissions. 26 % of all college applicants -- three times as many as in 2003, hired a "private admissions consultant" or an "independent educational consultant (IEC)" to assist with their college applications

While  many public and private universities provide meet and greets, college tours, application seminars, post "application tips"  on their websites as well as distribute information to high school counselors, the demand for applications advice often exceeds the capacities of most public institutions. Indeed, public high schools in the United States employ an average of one staff member per 500 students. 

Families are given so much information that they do not know what to do and as a result students make huge financial mistakes by picking the wrong school, not understanding the financial aid process, or just picking a school because it was the brand name.  Many do not even realize that the process will take their child approximately 100-200 hours to complete with a consultant depending on the situation to offer 27-30 hours of assistance for a regular package and more for those who are international or deal with learning differences.  A good Counselor will be able to make recommendations of schools you and your family may never have even heard of.

Today, we  found  this  article that was published last month  by the Huffington Post.  It outlines how and why college consulting is becoming a huge business and how a well trained counselor can quickly mainstream the process, get a child on track, and offer help to a student.

NOTE:  We currently are still accepting those who are incoming seniors.  It is important for a student to start the process well in advance of their senior year, but we realize many still feel it starts in the 12th grade, and signing up incoming Juniors.
