1. Why did you join CollegeTracks?
I joined CollegeTracks because I wanted to get help with the college process. I wanted to get help with my essay, applications, financial aid. I wanted to do things right to show I deserve to be in college.
2. What do you like about CollegeTracks so far?
I like all the help I can get during lunch and after school. I like getting help with my applications and my personal essay. I like all the support I get through the college process. I like how the CollegeTracks staff will help me make my short answer questions better.
3. Why should other students join CollegeTracks?
Other students should join CollegeTracks to make the process easier. CollegeTracks help students find schools to apply to, fill out applications, apply for financial aid, find scholarships, and more. CollegeTracks will help students make their short answer questions better. This is important because the short answer questions teach the college about the applicant. CollegeTracks can help students find and apply for scholarships. No matter how much money your family makes, financial aid and scholarships are useful. Free money from a school, the state, or a scholarship can allow a student to go to a top college or university they couldn't go to otherwise. CollegeTracks will help students answer difficult questions on applications. CollegeTracks is a very helpful program that helps students with the college process.
