Plus, I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed reading each and every one of your blogs. I live in California and I, naturally, am not too interested in Mason, but your relaxed approach to applications is a great way to attract the students who will understand your wit and appreciate your sarcasm.

I think everything you say will be a great help when we send our oldest off to college. Love it! Michelle W. Dean Flagel,

Making the decision of what college to attend, what to major in, what to take for general education, are all stresses that have been around for a long time. Your advice is very good and your detailed instructions of how to make the admissions process easier is a very useful tool. Thanks again.
