| Big things are afoot, Punchers. For starters: IT’S BACK-TO-SCHOOL TIME! Ahem, sorry for the outburst. This time of year just totally does it for us. Perhaps equally thrilling are the major improvements in store for the CC community! You spoke; we listened, and the result is a smoother, more streamlined experience—with a bunch more bells and whistles, of course. We didn’t think it was possible, either, but look for CollegeConfidential to get even foxier in the coming weeks, as we commence to crackin’ the books! |

She has been very consistent with her (animal-related) extracurricular activities, and she’s done an internship with a veterinarian and is currently working on a game preserve in Africa. Does she have a shot at getting into a college with a good science department that will give her the prerequisites for vet school? | | Find out what the dean said… | | Admit This! | | Packing-for-College Roundup | | Some of you won’t leave until early September, but in any case, packing for college can be a real challenge. One of the best ways to determine what you need is to do a “lifestyle inventory”—a chronicle of what you use in your everyday life to maintain your current standard of living. It involves taking some notes and pausing for thought, but the result can be quite practical. | | Read More… | | Virtual College Fairs for International Students | | Middle East & Africa: | Sept 7, 2013 | | Latin America: | Sept 14, 2013 | | Asia: | Sept 28, 2013 |
