Parents - College Admissions has changed. Tips for remaining calm.

Parents are bombarded with information about how college admissions has changed since they were in school. True enough. For some folks, that news creates a hysteria. Macalester College advises their alumni to calm down and think ahead.

Donna Kelly, College Connectors consultant, offers helpful advice on how to navigate the maze and stress of finding the right set of colleges for each student and getting into them. Even more importantly, she advises.

The article discusses current admissions topics like: 'pronoun confusion', 'sticker price', and 'matchmaking'. How many applications should a student submit? The Understanding the Numbers heading in the Admissions Mania article addresses this topic too.

Congratulations to freelance writer, Laura Billings, and the Macalester Today editorial staff for providing helpful information to parents.
