FOR YOUR INFORMATION: How To Research A College's Website

When starting your college search, checking out a college’s website is often the first place to look. However, websites are not standardized and can be overwhelming and confusing to navigate, so here are some tips for researching college websites to efficiently get the information you need.

First of all, make sure you go to the actual college website, NOT Wikipedia! College websites typically begin with their name or initials and end with .edu.

Most college websites have tabs that will bring you to pages with the most relevant information to start your search. Click on the tabs and read through to see if the college fits your academic, social and financial needs. Under Admissions you will find application instructions and deadlines, admission requirements, etc. Under Academics you can peruse the college’s possible majors and minors. To quickly access specific information, such as a particular major or field of study click on the search icon and type what you are looking for into the search box.

The Student Life tab will describe housing and dining options, clubs and organizations on campus (including Greek life), campus events and health services. In addition, many larger schools have tabs for Athletics. A rule of thumb is the more extensive the sports section is, the more emphasis the college places on sports.

The Financial tab will bring you to their published tuition and fees as well as their Financial Aid information. You can also access a “Net Price Indicator” or “Financial Calculator” to get an estimate of your cost to attend this college.

When navigated with intention the college website can be a significant resource in your college search by providing important facts, figures and information, as well as providing insight into the school’s culture.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in the College Application Process: Not utilizing the summer to enhance your college application.

When planning for college sometimes the summer opportunities are forgotten.

Students may want to beef up their transcripts to be more competitive at college application time. Maybe they are lacking in AP classes, or want to explore a possible area of interest to major in at college, or show some skills they haven't been able to demonstrate at their high school. Some students choose to get summer jobs to demonstrate responsibility and independence.

In addition there are in-person and virtual summer programs that offer students interesting classes to challenge them, sometimes for college credit. They may want to pursue music or theater in depth and work with professionals in the arts. Or become involved in business or political programs with internships and leadership councils.

Other students want the chance to live on a college campus to see what it's like. Some colleges have their own summer offerings, both academic and recreational, for high school students or host teen programs that utilize their facilities. This can help students gain confidence in themselves, help them develop their college list, and offer chances for dialogues with peers and lifelong friendships.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in the College Application Process: Not notifying the school of your continued interest, if waitlisted at your top choice colleges.

Depending on the college, students may increase their chances of getting accepted off of the waitlist if they let each school know they are still interested in remaining on the waitlist. Some schools ask the student to check off if they want to remain on the list when they notify them of their waitlist status. They would then have to submit a document, often called a Letter of Continued Interest(LOCI), to demonstrate continued enthusiasm and significant new updates. Students can send in additional letters of recommendation or other accomplishments they had not already submitted on their application.

It is important for students to commit to one of the colleges where they have been accepted and send in a deposit by May 1st to secure a college spot. If they get an acceptance in May or later that they have been accepted off the waitlist from their top choice college, they then have the option of accepting that college, although they will lose their deposit from the previous school.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Attend Accepted Students’ Days of Your Top Choice Colleges

Once a student has heard back from all their college applications, they have the opportunity to visit or revisit their top choices of the schools where they have been offered admission. Most colleges offer Accepted Students’ Days in April for students and their families. This allows students to get a more in-depth look at their potential college, see other students who were accepted, speak to faculty from their major, and even speak to the financial aid office.

Sometimes students will have the opportunity to sit in on classes to see what college academics would be like. Usually there is lunch offered along with student Q&A panels and some sort of entertainment from student clubs. The days are usually very upbeat and celebratory and well worth attending. Before a final decision is made for the student’s next 4 years, College Docs suggests you attend two or three Accepted Students’ Days.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION: How to Compare College Financial Aid Packages

After you’ve received all your college acceptances and financial aid information, the next step is to evaluate and compare your financial aid packages. While money isn't everything, no one wants to leave school saddled with hundreds of thousands of dollars of loans. You need to understand the different types of aid being offered. Scholarships and grants offered from the college do not have to be paid back and therefore are the best type of aid. There are also various need-based federal grants or loans if you qualify. While grants are preferable, federal loans are the most desirable type of loans because they have the lowest interest rates and have several deferment options following one's undergraduate education. Even with a family's demonstrated financial need, colleges are not required to offer scholarships or grants to fill the entire gap. There are also private student loans that have higher interest rates, which can be used to offset costs. Ideally you want to minimize the proportion of private loans in the financial aid package as these are the most costly. Bottom line: you have to compare the final cost of attendance between all the schools, and keep track of what you do and do not have to pay back. An independent college consultant can assist families with these important comparisons.
