A10 Don't obsess. Work hard but keep balance. There's a school for everyone out there. Keep an open mind and don't just stick with "name" schools. #CollegeCash

You need to know your EFC (Expected Family Contribution) and what you and your family can realistically afford to pay for #college. Then you can plan for your future appropriately.

Some great tips here to get the convo going early: https://t.co/PSNy27WqRu

Q8) Why is it important to start discussing the financial part of college as early as possible? #CollegeCash

[Jodi Okun @JodiOkun]

Q7 Once they file the FAFSA, or get their financial aid award letters, they think the money part of the process is complete. But, just like in real life, money should be a part of the everyday thought process. #CollegeCash

[Jodi Okun @JodiOkun]

Q7 Thinking about money: With everything else they have on their plates, it can be surprisingly easy for students to forget the financial end of attending college. #CollegeCash

Q6 The SAT and ACT generally test the same types of content. Both ACT and SAT scores are used for college admissions and merit-based scholarships. #CollegeCash @ThePrincetonRev

A3 Lets help #HigherEd students realize they have 168 hours in a week. But like any life lesson, time management takes skill, patience & practice. Learning when to study 📖 socialize 👥 or sleep 💤 in college takes time to find the right balance #CollegeCash #EmChat #SAChat https://t.co/pAMruMXvSs

[CollegeParentCentral @CollParCentral]

A5 Ask to sit in on some classes. Observe what the students in class are like. And do an overnight if possible. See what life on campus is like beyond the tour. #CollegeCash

[Leeann @MarketingLMC]

Love these questions to ask on a visit (from #CollegeCash’s own @JodiOkun!)



Also, great post from @ThePrincetonRev: https://t.co/wxR66GGKO3

Q4 Rules for dual-enrollment eligibility vary from state to state, so students should check with their high school guidance counselors to find out if they qualify, #Collegecash

[Leeann @MarketingLMC]

@CollParCentral Yes this is a great idea! #CollegeCash

A3. Create a realistic schedule, avoid distraction and procrastination. Try to exercise or play boardgames to clear your head between studies. Be effective on analyzing what’s working well and connect with people who are meaning to your success #CollegeCash

[Jodi Okun @JodiOkun]

Q3 Determine whether you're an owl or a rooster. Schedule your studying for times when you can seriously engage with the work. This can be very different, depending on your biochronology. Some students find 11 p.m. the perfect time to focus, others 7 a.m. #Collegecash

[Leeann @MarketingLMC]

A3 I think taking challenging courses and learning to balance school with extra curricular activities is a good start.

@CollegeBoard has a great post on ways students can take control of their time:

Q3) How can students prepare themselves for the time-management skills they’ll need in college? #CollegeCash

[Leeann @MarketingLMC]

A2 Take AP Classes and get good grades 🤓Not only does it look good on the application but it can often help you win scholarships too! #CollegeCash https://t.co/yDeKEAjANZ

[Jodi Okun @JodiOkun]

Q2) What can students do academically to improve their chances of college admission? #CollegeCash

[Leeann @MarketingLMC]

It's never too early! And @FAFSA has a great set of checklists for every year of HS: https://t.co/LZBOcgk2j1

Q1) Is there an ideal time in high school that college prep should begin? #CollegeCash

[Leeann @MarketingLMC]

@JodiOkun OH MY GOSH this is the cutest helper ever! #CollegeCash

[Leeann @MarketingLMC]

@DebbiKing @JodiOkun Such great advice shared tonight! Thank you! #CollegeCash

[Leeann @MarketingLMC]

@DebbiKing I've also shared materials with someone with the same course and professor, but a different time. Not always an option but a huge savings if it is! #CollegeCash

[Leeann @MarketingLMC]

@DebbiKing I think parents and students just have to know their limits. But totally agree, working is possible. #CollegeCash
