The college application and admissions processes and financial aid rules change constantly. Let’s look at the SAT test as an example. A few years ago, almost all colleges wanted to see your SAT or ACT scores to assess your application. Today, a large number of colleges are test-optional, which means you can send your test scores if you want to, but your application won’t be dismissed if you don’t submit SAT/ACT scores.
Staying on top of these ever-changing rules, regulations, and requirements is almost impossible for students and parents. For college planning professionals, this is a crucial part of our job. We stay updated on the latest changes so we can offer our clients the best advice based on the latest requirements and financial aid rules.
