The perception in Chicago is that applying to college must be easier than applying to high school, but in reality, the answer is “yes” and “no”. Finding a great college fit is yet another piece to the educational puzzle for families, and there is absolutely a post-secondary path out there for all types of students. Choices can include 4 year public or private colleges and universities to gap years to 2 year associate degrees and transfers to a direct apprenticeship or career path. With an array of choices, once again families are overwhelmed with the question of “Where do we start?”
