College and graduate school admissions expert Janson Woodlee will provide tips for college bound students to consider for making their final college selection during #CollegeChat on Twitter Monday, April 4, 2011 at 9 p.m. EST. Woodlee is also one of the founders of Ivy Eyes Editing, a writing and admissions consultancy founded by Yale graduates.
During #CollegeChat, Woodlee http://twitter.com/#!/ivyeyesediting will discuss with attendees:
- Do wait lists benefit the students or the admissions offices? What are the chances this will be effective?
- Can being on a waitlist affect your financial aid chances if admitted?
- Why is it important to consider graduation rates?
- How important should college rankings be in your final decision?
- Should you consider being deferred for a year or two from your top pick or is it time to move on?
- Is it ethical to give more than one school a deposit? Are you risking any consequences?
- How much should you be willing to go into debt as an undergraduate?
- What if you didn’t get into your dream school? Should you go to a junior college and then reapply?
- How do you get excited about a college that wasn’t one of your top picks?
Woodlee graduated from Yale University with a BA in music, with heavy emphasis on coursework within the cognitive science discipline.
