My neighbors in Columbus, Ohio may be scratching their heads at the site of Alabama Crimson Tide signs on the lawns of graduating seniors. It certainly seems like there have been more of these cropping up in the past few years. If you feel this way, you are not wrong. The University of Alabama has made a concerted effort to increase recruitment of out-of-state students and now has 60% of its undergraduate student population coming from states outside of Alabama.

It is almost October 1st which in college admissions means it is nearly time to start filling out any financial aid forms you need. For those less familiar with the financial aid process, October 1 is the first-day families can access, complete, and submit the 2022-2023 FAFSA (The Federal Application for Free Student Aid) and CSS Profile. Anyone logging in sooner will be completing forms for the wrong school year.

College application season is in full swing (and has me by the neck) and for many students this is when the magnitude of writing college essays really registers. Students are encouraged to write about themselves in a meaningful, intimate, and vulnerable way. No easy task for a 17-year-old. In fact, I would argue this exercise would make most adults shudder with discomfort.

You’re watching a game of soccer—and it’s intense. The score is tied, and your favorite team has a chance to win. To determine an identified strategy, the Coach calls a timeout.

When many families hear the term "financial aid," they automatically assume loans, grants, or need-based financial support. In reality, financial aid is an umbrella term that colleges and universities use to encompass both need-based and merit-based aid. Two primary applications are used to determine eligibility for need-based aid - the FAFSA , which is used for awarding federal financial aid and the CSS Profile , which is used for awarding institutional aid at a select number of colleges/univer

After each Write Your Way Into College cohort, I connect with students to get feedback on their experience and what we might be able to do to make the course better. Here's what Lilia had to say: Ben: Can you tell us a little about why you decided to join WYWIC? Lilia : When the pandemic started I wasn't able to take the sat or act.

If you are looking to attend a school that is rich with history and tradition, you won't be disappointed by William & Mary , which was founded in 1693 and is the second oldest institution of higher learning in the United States (in case you are curious, Harvard is the oldest, having been founded in 1636).

The greek poet Archilochus wrote, "the fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing." Philosophers have had a field day interpreting this parable, but I have often thought of it in terms of college admissions strategy. So, is it better be a proverbial fox or a hedgehog? This could be a really long essay, but to keep it simple—I think about the fox as embracing the nuance of the holistic admissions process more than the hedgehog.
