Honesty is the best policy with this one!

You should report your suspensions or any legal infractions other than minor traffic accidents.  Often times student can use these incidents as a “defining moment” and actually write about them.  Should you have any questions your guidance counselor can help you.

In many cases the colleges are forgiving again……as long as you are honest.  What you don’t want to happen is for them to find out after the fact and rescind your acceptance and/or scholarship.

1. What is the total cost to attend, including all fees and living expenses?

2. Is the school “need blind” or “need aware”?

3. Are there merit scholarships that are not based on need? What are the deadlines? Do they require a separate application?

4. If my child applies early decision, what happens if we don’t know our aid package before we have to submit the enrollment contract?

“Have you ever considered taking some time off before going to college?”

It’s a question that comes up with surprising frequency as students grapple with their post-high school options. And, while the questioner seems to be seeking validation around the idea, there is often an implied and even deeper concern about how colleges themselves might regard such a strategy.

The College Resource Center can help families through this decision- making process.  For more information, contact us through www.crccolumbusga.com or 706-366-2993.
