This is the final week of reckoning for high school seniors. After months, if not years, of searching and sorting through college options, it all boils down to this week and—what for many students is the $50,000 question—“Where do I send my enrollment deposit?”
Students and parents alike are obsessed with finding the answer, as is evidenced by these queries:
• From a student: "Is it better to go a school that has given me a $20,000 scholarship, a summer internship opportunity, and the promise of a letter of recommendation from the college president at graduation—or should I go to a 'better' school that hasn't given me any of these things?"
• From a parent (unrelated): "Four schools have given our child varying amounts of scholarship assistance. How do we determine which of them represents the best 'value?'"
