<p>Hey everyone, since I’m finally done with the college admissions process I decided that I should share all the research tools that I have used in making my decision. Also, hopefully this will help CC be able to find some more rankings’ tools to bolster people’s arguments
:P.</p>
<p>I won’t include the standard USNews because those are really easy to find.</p>
