That's all I can say. Try this, apparently WSJ Online is "free" today.

The Wall Street Journal

If I'd quit my job to help my kids in the college app process, they would have kicked me out of the house. College tours were mini-vacations, and the only "assistance" my LAC-crazy D had from me was some proofreading of the names/SSN/addresses on her forms, envelope stuffing/mailing and some minor nudging when I felt the deadlines were too close. H was totally out of this. He can't even tell which colleges she applied to, except the 2-3 he liked.
