As far as I can tell, however, this is the only site addressed primarily to parents. While I firmly believe that the choice of college really rests with each student, parents obviously have a role in the whole admission process. We want to support them, emotionally as well as financially, as they make their choice and face the agony of waiting for acceptance. So I present this site as a place parents can use as a source of solid information about colleges and financial aid, as well as all the steps students and families need to take to reach their goals. And, of course, it's not for parents only.
Kids can use it, too, as a launching pad for their own explorations.
For one thing, graphics often take a long time to download over phone lines, which is what most of us use at home. I want to save you time. For another, at this point, I'd rather put my energy into content, and give you the best information I can find. Design can come later. So please read the home page, bookmark it if you find it helpful, and use the categories to navigate to what you need.
