Clear the Air... ACT v. SAT???

I heard it again today from a high school junior.... "A really smart kid told me to take the SAT's because that's what colleges want." UGH!!!! So not true...

I researched top national schools including Harvard, my alma mater, Yale, UMass Amherst & Dartmouth, and Brown. They ALL accept either score.... Visit your school's Admissions page and look yourself! You will be pleasantly surprised!

So which test is for you???? Here are some things to consider:

1. The ACT is more straightforward. The questions are easier to understand
2. The ACT has a science section that tests your ability to reason and interpret graphs and  data.
3. SAT has more sections.
4. The SAT is for ardent wordsmiths.
5. Colleges look at each SAT section.
6. Colleges look at the ACT's composite score.
7. Writing section is optional on the ACT.

So what's my advice? Stop listening to "really smart kids" and become one! Call us.
Our experience will guide you to reach your dream school!

Summer Bucket List

 OK.. Summer.  My favorite 93 days!! I love driving around with ALL the car windows open.. I don't care about my hair...
I love the air, walking barefoot, the smells, no turtlenecks,  jacket, and the sounds...

Summer has only 93 days so let's plan on what we want to accomplish.....
What's on my bucket list? Here are some of mine....

1. Get up everyday by 7AM. Yup... AM!!!
2. Read a book a week.
3. Visit a new place every week! Could be a park, a restaurant, a town, etc... Any place!!
4. Go to a concert. 
5. Swim in the ocean, a lake, a pond (yikes), and a pool.
6. Get a tan.
7. Play tennis twice a week.
8. Be more accepting of people and situations. (Ugh.. I'll work hard on this!)

These may be mellow, but I acquiesce to my age. I don't plan -- or want to -- run through a car wash in my bathing suit or dive off a bridge into unknown water.

What are some of yours?

Summer is NOW!! Enjoy it!
Check out this website for some ideas...

Summer Planning

Summer is the perfect time to start planning for college.


Plan a tour and visit schools that interest you.
If you can't travel, visit local campuses and get a "feel" for the type of campus you prefer.

Country, sprawling, rural, city, small, warm climate, West Coast, East Coast, 20,000 students, all females, males, Christian, Ivy League???
Ask your self these questions and go visit.

We are fortunate to live in this area so go visit Harvard, U Mass, BSU, Regis, MIT, Northeastern, BCC, Massasoit, Curry, Massasoit, WPI....

Good luck....
