What are some trends you are seeing in college admissions?
ROD BUGARIN: The trend that I've
noticed is that the college application process and the college recruitment process is beginning
earlier and earlier. For some students, this starts as early as the freshman year in high
school, where they first start visiting college campuses or even take SAT or ACT test in their
ninth grade or their sophomore year. Another trend I've noticed is that technology has
made things easier for students, as well as admissions officers, to get information on
this long process. So students really need to be careful about what they have online
Everything from their email addresses to everything they have on their social networking
websites. And by the same token, colleges also expect that students know a lot of information
about colleges, universities, because it's so available from the click of a mouse.
