To any parent/high school student it is worth attending the Colleges That Change Lives Fair! I took my niece to one of their tours in Illinois (I asked if this was announced at their public high school and she said they didn’t know about it!). If you have a pre-med or Liberal Arts student, it is worth investigating these LACs. It helped me narrow down my niece’s choices after she talked to a few admission reps. There were more than 40 LACs across the country represented.
