Could we get into the college of our choice now?

It's been said before and I'll say it again--it's tough being a student today. Getting into college used to have some benchmark certainty. For many elite colleges, there used to be 'Early admission' in January and regular admission in the middle of April. But now, we learn that colleges are hedging their bets and adding more high school students to their wait lists... no YES or NO on the first round for many. It's a tough year out there. (Colleges expanding waiting lists)

And it's been said before, at the end of the day, it's more about what students make of the college experience than which college they attend.

Good luck to all in the class of 2014!
