The challenge of finding the right college and getting in has changed drastically in the past 20 years.
Acceptance rates are down. People apply to more colleges. And the cost of attending has gone through the roof!
Andrew Allemann experienced this firsthand when assisting his kid through the college selection process. He found that the data they needed to make the right decisions and find "hidden gem" schools was missing.
So he decided to do something about it. He created a free site, CollegeIQ, that helps students and parents by collecting all of the important information in one place (including the true cost of attending college) and making it easy to search for schools.
Let's talk about how the college game has changed and how students and parents can take control of the situation for the best possible outcome.
- Why acceptance rates at many colleges are so much lower, and what you can do about it
- Why the "list price" for colleges is rarely what students pay, and how to figure out how much you might have to pay to attend each school
- How to find "hidden gem" colleges that might be a fit for you
- What "chasing merit" is and how it can save you a bundle when applying to college
- Why are acceptance rates at many colleges so low?
- Explain need-based and merit-based financial aid
- Are kids still getting into a lot of debt when they go to college?
- What are some of the top things parents of young children can do today to ensure they can pay for college in the future?
- Why has the price of attending college gone up so much?
- How can I tell how generous a school is with scholarships?
