This is a great forum, with lots of parents who joined to get info for their own children, but stick around now to share that knowledge with other students and parents.
Some posters offer to read your essays and give suggestions. We can help you understand Financial Aid, completing FAFSA and other forms required by some schools. And help with comparing offers from several schools.
I hope you will stick around, read up on the forum archives, and ask questions when you are confused. Best wishes to you as you navigate college admissions.
