<p>I wish I'd known that you can take AP tests without taking an AP course. And that you can choose to have bad scores not reported.</p>
<p>How much of a student’s positive or negative experience in college is dependent on factors that could not be anticipated during the admissions process.</p>
<p>i wish i had kept up with how much tuitions have risen in the 8 years since previous child… why oh why was i still in the 20-30K/year mindset</p>
<p>i wish i had realized earlier that most/many top schools/ivies offer NO merit aid</p>
<p>I wish we had known that applying ED drastically reduced her chances for merit aid. The college has no need to “waste” the incentive of merit aid on students who have already said that that college is their first and only choice.</p>
