2021 College Admissions Student Survey Results
New National Survey Reveals We May Have Left One-Third of the High School Graduates of 2021 Behind
Overall the college admissions process is very unpredictable. The process is very tedious, time consuming, and overall just confusing. Many students get help from their parents and college advisors, whereas a lot of students don’t receive any help, leaving them at a disadvantage. This makes the college application process very unfair. Because of this, students who have stronger applications and more help throughout the process are usually held at an advantage by getting accepted to the top and receive more aid, leaving other students behind.
