  • Let's face it, our society has a wacky obsession with elite schools. But these schools may or may not have our best interests at heart. The college application process shouldn't be all about the top schools, it should be about the schools that best fit YOU. And of course, financial affordability also plays a huge factor.

    Hi Dyllen , Thanks telling this to us. Great that you went over the point of view on meeting with a student with similar overall background and experiences and where the student expressed their opinion about the school. Can you do a video or tell us more about how we could express interest into the college counselor after we submitted our application? Did we just hang tight until the acceptance or rejection letter comes in? I would think that expressing an interest and have some continued and yet minimal contact to the school after applying would give a student a better opportunity to get accepted to the school. Any thoughts?

    Hello Dyllen! Thank you for this great video!
    Did you apply on regular decision or early action?

    • @DyllenNellis
      @DyllenNellis  2 года назад

      I applied regular to all my schools!

  • @DyllenNellis

    **CORRECTION** I misspoke by saying that if you make above the financial cut-off for need-based aid you'd have to pay the full sticker price. This isn't always true and these schools may still offer you some financial aid, just not as much. I think it's a good idea to apply for financial aid through FAFSA and the CSS Profile no matter your household income.
