College
finance tip
Use a Federal Parent
Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS loan) to fund up to 100% of the cost
of your child's tuition, room and board, books, and other expenses. The great news is PLUS loans are not income sensitive.
Families can
qualify no matter how large their income. With low simple interest rates, many parents place the money they were going to use for
college into investments earning far more. |

| The Ivy League
is home to some of America's oldest and most admired schools.
Admission is
more competitive than ever with only 10-20% of applicants gaining acceptance
each year. What gets you in? Perfect GPA's and test scores help,
but what these schools really want are the leaders of tomorrow. So
a balanced scorecard of grades, tests, meaningful extracurricular
accomplishment, and focused ambition is your best bet. Your essay and letters of
recommendation are important indicators of the latter two. |
| |
| For better or worse, it also matters
where you are attending high school. Top colleges look favorably
on schools that have produced previous success stories. This is
true for both public and private high schools. |
