I used this site to find scholarships to apply for. They have a huge PDF file full of potential scholarships to apply for. I found 11 scholarships that I am going to apply for. It also gives you a list of deadlines for the scholarships as well as requirements. The site also helped my family and I understand the financial aid and FAFSA process a little better.

This site has a unique layout. It allows you to search for a college and look at it's statistics, look at its average financial aid package, and see application requirements for admission. This site was super helpful to me because I realized I couldn't apply to one of my colleges because I hadn't done all of the application requirements for that specific school.

I used this site and it's online study tool that I paid for to study for my ACT that I took last weekend. I would recommend this study tool for anyone- it includes two practice tests and allows you to review your scores and see what you did wrong with the explanation provided. Hopefully this study tool pays off through my score on my ACT.

This website has many tips and even has sample essays for how to write a good supplemental essay for college. If you explore the website more it has writing tips as well. This will be useful as I start to write supplemental essays.

In preparation for the ACT, I have been studying with Spark Notes. Not only does the website gives you tips on how to take the test, but it gives you some practice questions too. My goal is to strengthen my score on the English component of the ACT, and so I have been focusing on the English practice problems. They also have a free practice test as well, which was nice because all of the other study guides for ACT/SAT are not free. Hopefully studying with this tool will increase my standardized testing score.

This part of the College Board website is a place where many tips are included for writing the college essay. There are also student point of views and their personal experiences writing the college essay. This is a really helpful tool because it includes videos, tips, and even personal stories. The Director of Admission at Yale speaks about some tips for self-analysis in the essay, which was very insightful.

This site allows you to look at reviews of colleges written by alumnis or attending students. This gives you a different perspective of that college. It also allows you to know things that college tours simply don't tell you. They also have scholarship opportunities that you can apply for. On top of that, you can see rankings of schools and research further into each school you are interested in. I have found this website very helpful in my college search, and I have even applied to a few scholarships on this site.

This website allows you to sign up, enter in your test scores, GPA, extra curriculars and other important academic information. Then, you can pick all of the colleges you want to apply to and they will show you your chances of getting in based on percentages. It compares you to other students on parchment, as well as your academic profile and that is how they make the educated guess. It also tells you how sure they are of the percentage they gave you. On this site, you can also look at others that are applying to the schools you want to go to, and whether or not they got accepted or not. It is a great support system and a resourceful tool to use, even if it may not be the most accurate.
