<p>Schokolade, thanks for the helpful advice. I would add one thing to your suggestions to LadyHam: don’t rely on even the colleges’ own websites, as they can be out of date or not reflect future changes for students entering Fall 2013, as I discovered this month regarding out-of-state tuition waivers (the requirements were ratcheted up while the amount dropped, resulting in several thousands difference each year). Best, I would try to email to obtain important information.</p>
<p>Last, for everyone on this thread, you might want to consider paying the $18 for the ACT test results detail. I’m not sure how helpful they’ll be, but for that price something is better than nothing is my thinking. They do caution that the 3-4 week delay sending them means that they really can’t be used for the June test date, but certainly for the September and beyond.</p>
