As spring approaches and graduation nears, many seniors are feeling relaxed for the first time in a LONG time knowing where they’re headed come fall. That said, we know that circumstances vary and not ALL seniors have college options at this point. In fact, some might be thinking that college is off the table until next year’s application cycle.
