Are they open for all colleges across the country? All my schools don’t have regustration for Fall 2016 up yet?
@Valorship98 Totally depends on the college. Chicago and Temple, for example, are taking apps, but Minnesota is not. Each school sets their own policy.
Okay, thanks! I’m a first generation so this process is being done completely on my own

Posted elsewhere, but FWIW- the scholarship information appears to have been updated. Can I say “Roll Tide”, or is that reserved for students and alums?
@khidhala when my son and I visited campus the Avanti team members encouraged all of us visiting to say “Roll Tide” so I’m pretty certain you are in safe territory there.

Any else you’d like to mention: I have been impressed by the efforts which the school has gone to make my son feel like he is a 5 star blue-chip recruit…from our visit to campus on University Mondays to the recruiting events my son and I have attended here in Texas. Emails to school officials are actually responded to within a few days!! Additionally, I don’t know if there is another community on College Confidential or on the Facebook sites with so many active and ardent supporters of a college. That’s got to mean something, right?
