Читать книгу Paying For College For Dummies - Eric Tyson - Страница 19

Of course, first and foremost, colleges will evaluate your child’s academic record including high school grades, standardized test scores, and so on. College applications also ask students to document what they’ve done outside of the classroom.

Parents, students, and even some well-intentioned high school personnel have all sorts of misconceptions and misperceptions as to how colleges evaluate applicants. Chapters 4 and 5 pull back the curtain on that process and provide you with the information you need to know.

College pricing and associated “financial aid” is even more poorly understood and for good reason. You will have to answer scores of questions about your financial and family situation and then submit that information in order for the college, through their own black box process, to tell you the price they will charge your family. See Chapter 6 for a thorough overview of that process.
