- Admission Blunders to Avoid– From stretching the truth on applications to relying on the advice of strangers online, we walk through seven common mistakes that can derail an otherwise strong application and how to steer clear of them.
- Focus on Majors: Biology– Curious how living things actually work? We break down what a biology major looks like day-to-day: the labs, the research, the hands-on experiments, and the range of careers it opens up, from medicine and marine biology to biotech, science journalism, and environmental law.
- Financial Matters: Using the Net Price Calculator– The sticker price on a college’s website rarely reflects what a family will actually pay. We explain how to use the Net Price Calculator alongside the Cost of Attendance to turn a scary number into a real plan.
- How Much to Disclose– Students often wonder what belongs on an application and what doesn’t. We offer guidance on sharing context around grades, health, or a disciplinary record in a way that helps admissions officers understand the fuller story.
