Applying to college includes many “firsts” for both students and families. Whether or not parents have attended college themselves or even guided their older children through the application process, the experience is invariably unique with each individual. We offer this series of “How To’s” to guide your approach to the many steps along the way. Our hope is that these questions and suggestions will allow you to reflect on the schools you are considering in light of your student’s own unique needs, goals, and aspirations.
