The process of getting into college is the most important thing in a teenager’s life yet the hardest at the same time. This is not just something that you can pick in a week or month. This school will be your home for the next for years or maybe more. This is the first big [...]

Personally, I think no one should ever have to take a standardized test.

For those of us who are complaining about the tough admissions process in the U.S., we do have it a lot easier than many students around the world.
