College Debt has reached gigantic proportions and is now larger than credit card debt. Many students are finding themselves in debt upwards of $25,000. One of the featured students in the article owes an amazing $70,000! This is crushing news, especially in terms of the economy and the difficulty that some students are having in finding work.

It is important that as you go into the summer you think critically about the colleges you will
be applying to.
First of all, you, the I.C.E. student, have to make sure that you have selected at least 2 public schools where you are likely to be admitted. Chose colleges you like, that will put you on track. Be clear it is not simply choosing a public college, but choosing one in which your profile easily fits the Admitted Student Profile. It goes without saying that there are many excellent colleges and universities to chose from in the public sector, and many of these schools may in fact be reach schools.
You will also be applying to private schools. You want a diversity in the schools that you apply to....cast your net. In some instances a private school may offer a generous scholarship that will make attending a private school more affordable than even a public college!

After you have applied to your colleges, keep an open mind and be prepared to closely read over Financial Aid Award letters with your parents/guardian. Do not make a choice on your college until you and your family understand the costs of that particular college. The price tag of your college education is a big factor that should definitely be part of the decision in choosing which college you will attend.
