Fortunately, I love and appreciate this age and often, my faith in humanity is literally restored by a one-hour college planning session with a high school student. Occasionally, I joke that they have a heavy burden of correcting many mistakes that my generation has made.

You may be all that and a bag of chips on the filed/court/course, but without the grades, your recruiting opportunities significantly diminish. Increasingly, colleges want students who think, not just play. Plus, the NCAA has core requirements. Make sure you meet them. Take ACT and/or SAT until you get the score you want/need. 2.

You need to know these stats. When it comes to graduation rates, many families ask, “What is the deal with the 6 year graduation rate. What happened to graduating in 4 years?” While one is able to find 4 year grad rates, many colleges and universities report their 6 year grad rate. So, overall, colleges and universities are judged by their ability to graduate students in 6 years, or 150% of the ‘normal’ 4 year time frame.

I had the good fortune to take a walk this morning, along the peaceful Blue River, in Silverthorne, Colorado. My companion was my 17 year-old daughter, a high school senior. I literally covet her company because she’s amazing and also because a year from now she’ll be in college and no longer living in my house. Cue the breakdown. Anyway… On this walk I thought, who better to ask about college stress than this young lady?

Are you a smart consumer? Do you understand that when it comes to funding higher education, you must be very well informed? When considering the over all return on the higher education investment, make sure you have the facts for each college/university your student is considering: What is the 4-year graduation rate? What is the freshman retention rate?

“To be recognized as one of the most innovative, international and individualized small universities in America." ~Vision of Lynn University To many in my profession, Lynn University is known for its nationally recognized Institute for Achievement and Learning, focused on the success of students with Learning Differences (LD). My recent visit to Lynn opened my eyes to the tremendous offerings of this institution that extend far beyond the Institute of Achievement and Learning!

Campus safety. This is a topic of growing concern for the families I work with, especially parents of daughters. Having three of my own, I get it. In fact, I find myself consistently researching the current status of college campuses with regard to what they are doing to combat this very real and dangerous issue. To be clear, one in five women are sexually assaulted in college, according to the most recent research.
