Big changes regarding College Board subject tests and the optional essay...another possible sign of changes to the college admissions process?

How Colleges Are Now Evaluating Students https://t.co/MQwuKj5Ftb

[SFA College Advising @TC2College]

TCW students and alum-if your income in 2020 was negatively impacted by Covid or other hardships; please talk to a Scholarship Fund adviser about a professional judgement appeal of your 2021-2022 FAFSA.

[EdTrust @EdTrust]

This upcoming year, #FASFA will be based on '19 tax returns neglecting the financial setbacks #COVID19 might've placed on a student & their family. That's why its essential students take advantage of #ProfessionalJudgment to qualify for max #FinancialAid

[SFA College Advising @TC2College]

@BWadier @MedillSchool @QuestBridge @MichaelLeePope Congratulations Bridgette! You are an amazing woman.

[SFA College Advising @TC2College]

Community colleges play a huge role in helping students earn a college degree.

What will schools look at, in the absence of tests, to determine merit aid? An important question with varying answers.

[Road2College @Rd2College]

Great article about testing and
merit money by @RonLieber. And we are thrilled to be mentioned in it! https://t.co/7PqLZD1RLf

[SFA College Advising @TC2College]

Canceled tests continue to be a challenge for the class of 2021. Reach out to a scholarship fund advisor to talk about your plan and how to be a strong test optional candidate.

[College Board @CollegeBoard]

Students can no longer register for any September or October SAT test center, even if your SAT was recently canceled. For test security reasons, there are no exceptions, so unfortunately customer service can't help you find a seat for the Sept or Oct test. https://t.co/qOiIouinAV

[College Board @CollegeBoard]

Between now and tomorrow's SAT, the Test Center Closings page will have the most timely test center updates.

This page will be more timely than email, text, and account/admission ticket updates. Check this page heading to the test tomorrow morning. https://t.co/IUzpbgVr3D
