Re-calculating college
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Last month I wrote about students applying to college early action/early decision. UGA, Georgia Tech and other schools have reported an increase in the number of these applications.
Many students who applied early are now finding out if they got in. (Those who didn’t apply early will likely be working on their applications over winter break.)
As bad as the economy was a few months ago, it is worse now. More people are losing their jobs. Scholarships and financial aid will be tougher to get.
Are you having doubts over which colleges you can afford? What kind of discussions are you having with your kids about paying for college?
