Applying to College

<p>IS PURE HELL! </p>

<p>Don't wait until the 11th hour like I did. Be sure to set aside like 3 hours for it, gather 1040 forms, W-whatevers, and bank statements and have a CPA at hand! You need to know EVERYTHING! </p>

<p>NOW FOR MY RANT:</p>

<p>Oh my God, that just made me want to die!</p>

<p>I have a new respect for the shi--t that CPAs have to deal with!</p>

<p>W-T_F is a Keough or a Roth IRA! </p>

<p>How the eff am I supposed to know that stuff!</p>

<p>Why can't we just send schools copies of 1040 form thingers!?</p>

<p>And it costs you 18 bucks to send it to colleges!</p>

<p>JESUS HOLY CHRIST I HATE THE COLLEGE BOARD!</p>

<p>Hmmmm, I say we invoke the Sherman Anti-trust act on CB for controlling every aspect of our college lives!</p>

<p>Not for profit MY @$$!</p>

<p>Please someone commiserate with me!</p>

<p><strong>Mod's, sorry if this is the wrong forum. Move it or delete it if you feel the need to.</strong></p>

<p>I remember going through the same thing last year.</p>

<p>Seriously, the CB has so much control over this despite there being alternatives. It's ridiculous.</p>

<p>There are NO alternatives to the CSS though!</p>

<p>I agree with you about the College Board. They're smart people...I wish I could buy stock in them, but alas. :(</p>

<p>I wonder whether it even pays to apply for financial aid.... at a certain income/ asset level, it seems they only offer loans...</p>
