Ventura, California, March 2006: Today, more than ever, preparing for college early
is essential. This is not only due to the competitive job market upon graduation,
but also the extensive demands being placed on students in the college acceptance
process and today\'s increased college choices. You also factor in the low rate of
acceptance at some of the best colleges and you\'ll soon see how essential it is to
start your college planning as early as the 9th grade.

Here are some things to consider for successful college planning:

1) Do you have a high school checklist prepared? This details from the 9th grade to
senior year the steps you need to take and the essentials of meeting all the
necessary requirements. It also safeguards you from missing vital deadlines. A
complete high school checklist is provided at College Confidence\'s website at
.
2) Do you know the dates of all the testing required and are you familiar with how
you can adequately prepare for them? The SATs and ACTs are vital parts of the
acceptance process. By knowing the dates of these vital exams, you can leave time in
your schedule to adequately prepare for them.
3) Do you know the main requirements to get into the college you want to attend?
Among other things, it\'s important to know the GPA requirement for the different
schools as well as what are the school\'s requirements for the college essay.
4) Are you aware of what financial aid is available to you? This is an essential
part of college planning. There are many plans available and each has its own
benefits and terms you need to know.

It also pays to have someone familiar with the college admission requirements on
your side to help you through the entire process. College Confidence
does just that. Through their workshops and The
College Road Trip, Your Admissions Planner students get the answers they need to
stay focused in the right direction. Sonja Montiel, founder of College Confidence,
operates these workshops and serves on the executive board of the Western
Association of College Admissions.

With such staggering statistics as Harvard only accepting 2,095 out of 20,987
applications and UC Los Angeles accepting only 9,949 out of 43,199, don\'t you want
to do everything you can to prepare?
