<p>Thanks for all the opinions, it is good to read all the views.</p>
<p>This our oldest child. It was not this complicated when his Dad and I went thru the process. First of all it all done by snail mail. Now when colleges send acceptances they want you to establish a e-mail account, apply for more scolarships, visit the school again,meet other kids, take tests and most will not let you do that untill you give the acceptance fee.</p>
<p>I have not made more than 1 deposit. It just seems more complicated than it has to be.</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing your thoughts, the counselor at our school is no help at all.</p>
