College officials are going to have a heartburn after watching this video. Sweet! Here is the attitude you ought to have in looking at colleges because there are over 3000 four-year colleges and over a thousand two-year colleges, you have a lot to select from. But the colleges do not want you to think in those terms, they want you think that their college is the only one worth applying to. Well that is not the case! Surprise them and take them off balance so that the attitude towards the college. I do not mean to be nasty, but to take an attitude that basically says to the colleges, you know what, I really do not need your school. I have got lots of schools I can apply to, lots of schools I can be happy at and so, I am going to take my time and carefully select what schools are the right fit schools and then I am going to make an ultimate choice based upon the fact that I have several offers and financial aid so that I can have more buckets of money to choose from than just a few buckets! Because you see the colleges would like you to apply to just a few colleges instead of so many colleges because they think that you are going to be causing students not to get in because too many applications are flooding the market! Well that is the reason why they are having a heartburn this video because you are going to apply to ten colleges at least, so increase your chances of getting in, increase your chances of getting more financial aid, and you will be better off in the long term. Good luck to you, I am Paul Hampel.
