College Confidential

If you don't already have an account, I suggest you take a look at College Confidential (CC for short). It has a wealth of information and a very active forum for college-bound students AND parents.

"Here you'll find hundreds of pages of articles about choosing a college, getting into the college you want, how to pay for it, and much more. You'll also find the Web's busiest discussion community related to college admissions, and our CampusVibe section!"

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

SAT

Just a quick message:

To all the seniors taking the SAT or SAT subject tests tomorrow, good luck!

Remember to get lots of relaxation and to go to bed early tonight. Cramming a lot won't help tonight-- I advise that you only do some light vocab review, if anything at all.
