By early February, many - but not all - admissions and financial aid deadlines have passed.  Are all of your applications complete and submitted? Are there any other forms the school requires? For more information on this topic, check out our Facebook page at Facebook.com/CollegeCoach. 

By now, some students have already received some admissions decisions, scholarship offers and financial aid awards. Did you know that you may be able to negotiate higher awards? For more details, search "scholarship negotiation" on the College Coach blog at blog.getintocollege.com. 

For families with juniors in high school, now is the perfect time to be researching colleges that may be the right fit, both academically and financially.  Learn more about this by tuning in to the College Coach podcast, Getting In, this Thursday afternoon when one of the topics will be "How to Research Colleges".
