Scott Woodcock "Talk with your guidance counselor, teachers, and people you know in specific professions. Ask how they made their college decision. Research and visit each college on your wish list. Attend college fairs and speak with admission representatives regarding major courses of study and requirements for admission. The University of Miami offers a very friendly and cooperative atmosphere with helpful and supportive staff."

David Lee Henry "Many people don't completely understand the terms Early Decision and Early Action. Students should take the time to understand these options and choose the one that best suits their needs and wants." Hometown: Tampa, Florida |

"It is extremely important for students and parents to visit college
campuses throughout their college search. The campus visit can give
a prospective student a realistic idea of what life is like as a college
student on that campus. Sometimes a school may be very different in
actuality than what it seems like on paper and through its Web site.
Visiting the campus in person is the only way to know for sure before
making that important decision!" Hometown: Worcester, Massachusetts |

Jazmane Morgan "I encourage students to reread their essay before submitting it with the application. Having a variety of people read it will help identify any grammatical errors they may have missed." Hometown: Stone Mountain, Georgia E-mail

Alexander Ramos "Students should not be discouraged about applying to any school because they believe the school is too expensive. I encourage students to decide which school to attend after she/he has received the acceptance letters. Premature decision making may never allow certain options. It is difficult to accurately predict if a student will be accepted and/or what the financial aid package will be." Hometown: Miami, Florida E-mail

Jim Sullivan "To the parents, I advise that there are many criteria to consider
when selecting a college. Having your child answer these three questions
for each school they are considering might help them make their final
decision. 1. Will they be happy? (What makes them happy? And how does
that differ at each campus?) 2. Will they be successful? (How do they
define success both in and outside of the classroom? How will that
differ with each school?) 3. What will they (you) have to show for
your investment? (The college experience is not only a financial investment,
but also an investment of our time. How different will your student
be after their college experience? How prepared will they be for the
next phase of their life?)" E-mail

Deanna Voss "To the parents, I advise that as you go through the college search, learn with your son or daughter, ask questions and be involved. But whenever possible, let your son or daughter take the lead, listen to their interests and concerns. Ultimately, college will be a major life experience for your child, and you want them to be happy." Hometown: Cleveland, Ohio E-mail

Kurban "Students should consider the importance of education within a diverse setting; our world is turning into a global village! They need to be prepared to interact and communicate effectively with people from different parts of the world. Diversity enriches the educational experience in many ways; it promotes personal growth, it fosters mutual respect, and it erases stereotyped preconceptions. We learn more about different cultures by interacting with those whose experiences, beliefs, and perspectives are different from our own." Hometown: Lebanon E-mail Elissar |
