MOST kids go to a state college or community college near their homes. There isn’t a big need to worry about admissions or writing essays or taking tests 5 times. There is a college for your kids and they’ll be very happy about going there.

My kids didn’t start looking until after junior year. One is an athlete and eliminated schools based on the team/coach but also on academics after she figured out that schools were different. She looked at one school in Aug and the others in the fall, but had her decision by the end of Oct and only applied to one school. No essay.

My other daughter went to a school fair (the big kind, in a city events center), found a school and that was it. Also one application, not sure if there was an essay. Very happy with her choice.
