Show Notes:

2:06 Holly recommends Georgia Tech’s college admissions blog for ALL families in the college admissions process, regardless of whether or not you plan to apply to Georgia Tech. Here is the referenced article about the “highschool hallway test.”
7:58 Holly and Susan recommend creating a practice common app account.
11:40 Susan mentions her son’s homeschool transcript, which is available here for your reference.
21:16 Susan mentions that the CollegeBoard has an article about creating a school profile. You can find it here.

54:50 Holly recommends using the Student Aid Index Calculator to figure out which colleges you can afford.
55:11 Holly also recommends Big J Educational Consulting’s chart of schools that lists average merit award and what percentage of students get award.
56:45 Holly lists two reputable scholarship finders that aren’t selling your data: (1) CareerOneStop Scholarship Finder sponsored by the U.S Department of Labor and (2) JLV College Counseling.
58:50 Susan mentions Harvard as an example of a school that may be prohibitively expensive. However, while the sticker price is $60,000+/ year, the university has a large endowment and can cover most of that through merit and need-based scholarships. Here is a link explaining.
