There is a pervasive truth that most people caught up in the school access frenzy either fail or refuse to recognize and that is, it is not hard to get into college these days in spite of what you may have read or heard in a media obsessed more with fear tactics and the sales they generate than with rational thought and good old common sense. Sure, there are a few elite private schools which fill their residence halls, their classrooms and their playing fields with the super-bright and super-talented but most simply provide small classes, an inclusive community, a dedicated faculty and a dynamite educational experience that guarantee their graduates limitless opportunities.

This country is truly the beneficiary of an embarrassment of riches when it comes to the sheer magnitude and variety of choice that awaits the erstwhile candidate who with realistic expectations and a little effort can complete a few applications giving them access at the end of the process to any number of excellent options.

Virtual open admission at most community colleges, statistics which indicate that about 95% of undergraduate institutions accept approximately 90% of their applicants and the reality that, at most campuses, upwards of 3/4s of the student body receives some form of financial assistance, and the myth of selectivity and/or "beyond our means" shrivels up like a snail with salt on its tail. The fact is, if you want to go, so you shall, period. And what's even more exciting, you will have a virtual cornucopia of possibilities awaiting you with at least as much variety as your careful research and determination can uncover.

The goal of our site is to enlighten, empower and embolden the education consumer so that this seemingly mysterious and complicated world of admissions will be exposed for what it really is, a little man behind a green curtain with only as much influence over us as we are willing to grant him; which is to say, none. Read on, pay attention and take control of your future or that of your children. This is neither hard nor complicated work but you must put in the time, trust your instincts, your ability to create workable solutions, make sound, informed decisions and pay attention to what we are telling you.
