Mr. K's College Knowledge

As always, I want to try to provide everyone with the most up-to-date resources on college admissions, and I want to share this very helpful website. It is called, College Results Online , and is part of The Education Trust. This website has a ton of information on graduation rates (something you all should be comparing at colleges), financial aid and average net cost after financial aid, and much more. It also allows you to search and compare schools on various factors that are important to you. I would encourage you all to take some time to look through this website and hopefully it will come in handy for you during the college search process. Take care, and happy searching! -Joseph D.

Just a quick post here in alerting everyone of the new policy at the highly selective Wesleyan University. As we are seeing with many colleges each year, Wesleyan has decided to go test-optional in their admissions. This can be very helpful for the students who have performed well in the classroom, but just can't seem to showcase their best during standardized testing. Students no longer have to send in their test scores for the admissions process. For more specific information on Wesleyan's new policy, please click on their website link here . Enjoy, and as always, happy searching! -Joseph D. Korfmacher, MA
