<p>Jack, we don't all always even know WHICH colleges to call/consider. I've done a lot of research now for ZG's search and she did very, very well. There were many questions that I never would have thought to ask if others hadn't posted their experiences along the way. That's what I find most helpful here, as a working mother, the willingness to share experiences. The readers can then take what's helpful, leave what's not, and move closer to making the right choices. Personally, I've found plenty of things that I would have never known in time without reading posts here because this is my first child.</p>
