Top custom college plans
Premium college advisor? Most high schools offer only a fraction of the 34 total AP courses overseen by the College Board. Colleges, even Ivy or Ivy-equivalent ones, will not expect you to have taken an absurd number of APs but will likely expect to see you engage in the most rigorous schedule available at your school. At highly-selective Kenyon College, the average admitted applicant took 5 AP courses in high school. The University of Georgia’s admits averaged nine AP courses while in high school. More high school grads have taken at least one AP course than ever before. Among the Class of 2007, just 24% took an Advanced Placement course; by 2019, that figure had risen to 39%.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed when thinking about college. You need to figure out ways to make yourself a more desirable college applicant, study effectively for those standardized tests looming in the near future and come up with an action plan that will determine where you’ll be applying to, and how you’ll pay for it. If you’ve only just begun your high school career, don’t waste a great opportunity to start taking the steps now to jumpstart college planning.
The Average Total Cost of Public Colleges is $25,290 (in-state), $40,940 (out-of-state), and Private Colleges are at $50,900 for EACH year! Additionally, just 41% of college students graduate in 4 years, driving up the cost significantly. If you consider the potential for long term savings that may be found with the expertise of asking colleges the right questions, knowing how to craft an appealing application, and analyzing financial aid packages, your return of investment makes this an incredibly smart financial decision.
