Are the things you "know" about college admissions and financial aid true and accurate?

I referee soccer -- many are aware of that.  That sometimes puts me on the touchline (sideline for the non-soccer people) where parents, grandparents and others sit to watch and enjoy the match.  The close proximity allows me to catch bits and pieces of conversations.  It is amazing how much inaccurate information people share with each other about college admissions and financial aid.

It is painful to hear.  I want to stop, turn around and offer my workshop on the spot.  Can't do that at a soccer match. 

Is your student in 11th grade, or younger?  Have you attended my workshop ever, or has it been more than a year?  Please reach out to me.  It will be my pleasure to bring you up-to-date with accurate information.
