Even Unemployed Folks Go to School!
So that means you'll have a lot of competition for college admissions - so be prepared by knowing what your grades and test scores should be.

Is a rejection really the end? A new article says no.
It's almost time for my Spring Break, and I can't wait! But - I haven't been neglecting my duties as The Ivy League Tutor, no.
I've been thinking about how it seems like Spring might really be here, even if I don't see much evidence. There's threats of snow all the time! Maybe I shouldn't call them threats. "Promises?"
I've been also thinking that this is the time that high school students find out their college futures.
I ran across an article from U.S. News & World Report explains how a rejection letter might not be the final word. My suggestion, though, is to not be too eager or annoying about appealing a rejection from a college, because annoyed admissions officers could take a "well, since you asked, the answer is no" kind of attitude, and you've made a bad name for yourself. The article doesn't really go in depth into how to appeal a rejection, so I suggest proceeding with a LOT of caution.
