Students Begin Collegiate Preparations Earlier


We have discussed mounting evidence on this blog that there is a paradigm shift occurring in the homes of American families with middle- and high-school children. No longer is it acceptable to wait until junior year to start planning college matriculation. This evidence is now further highlighted by a new breed of New York for-profit schools who asking students to start college hunting as early as the ninth grade. With increasing pressure from the international arena and the advent of independent college counselors on the rise to prepare the most competitive students, beginning early is not longer an option but a necessity. Parents are investing time and financial resources to ensure that their student stands to be the most competitive.
