    I'm starting the whole college admissions process and I want to limit my list so I don't have to spend a fortune on application fees. I've been using AcceptEdge for some insight but was also wondering if anyone else has useful advice?

    my opinion is
    • [b]Help finding schools:[/b] Perhaps you have no idea where you want to go to college and only have a vague notion as to where it is you would like to go. Your college admissions consultant can give you many ideas as to which schools would be a good fit for you and you can then go from there.

    • [b]Help with applications:[/b] College admissions consultants know exactly what schools do and do not want to see on applications. They will be able to review your application before it is sent off to the college you are applying to and be able to tell you if there is anything that needs to be added or taken away. Beyond that they will also let you know what, if any, accompanying paperwork must be sent off with the application. Imagine how terrible it would be to get excluded from the college of your choice simply because you neglected to send in a form that you didn't even know about.

    • [b]Help with student loans:[/b] It may be necessary for you to obtain student loans in order to attend the college of your choice. Do you have any idea where to begin your search? Your admissions consultant will know exactly where to look and can even help you determine what type of aid you will be able to qualify for. In some instances they can even give you some ideas of specific scholarships that you may qualify for that you may not have otherwise found out about. While it is true that it costs money to hire a college admissions consultant, if they can provide you with ideas for scholarships that you never have to pay back it is sort of like they will be paying for themselves

    The sooner you have a general idea of what you want to study the better. Do your research and pick the school that best suits your academic goals. Good luck!

    There are some free websites with very helpful information for students applying to college. These sites have advice on the planning and application process, forums for students, and advice on funding your education. I've recommended some sites to teachers and students so often that I wrote up a description of the top ten most helpful sites I've found.

    You can read about what they have to offer here:

    I recommend you try Education Planner, which has a section on applying to colleges. Also look at College Confidential, which has an outstanding forum on College Admissions, with questions answered by students, parents and admissions experts. They also have a forum for International Students, which might be useful to you.

    I wish you well in your studies here.
