Online Resources
The College Board - This site provides a wealth of information on different
colleges and programs, as well as being the place to register for the SAT
online. You can search for schools by different characteristics, view
recommended timelines for applying, and research financial aid.
FastWeb - Probably the most comprehensive source for scholarship and
internship information.
The Common Application - This site has the common application. Most
colleges accept the common application, although most require supplements.
You can manage all of your applications to schools that accept the common
application through this site.
The Independent Educational Consultants Association - Several of my
students have worked with educational consultants and found the process to
be invaluable. They help students find the right school as well as develop and
manage an application plan.
U.S. News and World Report Rankings - Love 'em or hate 'em, here they are.
