Online College Application and Admission Tool Helps Parents Get Their Lazy Kids into School
A new online college application and admission tool lets students become proactive in finding the right school, taking the burden off stressed parents.
CHESTER, PA, April 29, 2007 - Parents have it rough these days. Not only do they have to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars for a college education, but some parents almost have to force their children to participate in the school search.
A new online college application and admission tool by StudentProspector takes the burden off these parents by making it easy for students to get recruited by top schools.
The StudentProspector registration form, an online college application and admission tool that utilizes the latest Web technologies, allows students to fill out information about themselves that college admissions counselors would be interested to know. These counselors then search through the information in an effort to identify ideal students for their campus, and when they find them, they can recruit them, and even offer them a scholarship.
"I wish this online college application and admission tool existed when my kids were looking for colleges," says Lois Kelly, mother of two college girls and former school librarian and advisor to StudentProspector. "I had to force my kids to read brochures and take campus visits. Now, instead of students spending time researching schools, or filling out applications and waiting to hear back, the perfect one can find them. It's such a stress reliever."
The information students give is entirely protected and made visible only to the types of schools they are interested in attending. The form takes less than a half-hour to fill out and includes information about undergrad and graduate school as well as study abroad opportunities.
Parents can take advantage of this online college application and admission tool by sending their kids to www.StudentProspector.com/sign-up.html. With less nagging and yelling necessary, it just may save the fragile parent/student relationship.
