One way to help distinguish your student from the thousands of others applying to college this year is to seek out national competitions for your student to enter.  The most competitive schools look at students on a national rather than local scale.  Encourage your student to enter national competitions in a field of interest.  A good showing in a competition of this scale is sure to impress admissions officers at schools of even the highest prestige.  Parents can help out by seeking out competitions for their kids.  Here a just a few you might want to check out.  And as always, student planning is unlimited for our clients!  Come to a FREE College Planning Workshop in your area and find out more!  661-295-9946 or www. collegeplanningexperts.com
