At year’s end, it’s traditional to give thanks for all the many blessings received during the previous twelve months and to look forward to the coming year with a renewed sense of optimism. The following are sixteen reasons college-bound students should be giving thanks this year:
16. A simplified FAFSA form
15. Permission to guess on Advanced Placement exams
14. Tuition exchange programs
13. College tour guides who master the art of walking backwards
12. Over 830 “test optional” colleges and universities
11. Colleges allowing Score Choice
10. Non-binding early applications
9. The freedom to substitute ACT scores for SAT’s
8. Free on-campus visitor parking
7. The demise of SAT antonym questions—this happened in 1994 but you should continue to be thankful
6. Electronic applications that don’t cut answers off mid-sentence
5. Colleges with no loans
4. Applications with NO essay supplements
3. Colleges requiring fewer SAT Subject Tests
2. Teachers and guidance counselors still willing to write recommendations
And most important of all:
1. Family and friends who support and love you!
Best wishes for a healthy and Happy New Year!
