College Search

 

Sponsor:  College Board

 

Grade Level Appropriate for 7-12

 

Primary Use:  College Information Search

 

 

 

            A nationally accredited testing company writes this site, with its information being comprehensive and reliable.  The information available is easily accessible by individuals having basic computer knowledge.

            The College Board college search has excellent links such as financial aid, and SAT deadlines and dates, which are also extremely helpful to students who are planning to attend college.

            As some college search engines provide information about colleges and technical schools that subscribe to them the College Board provides information on every post secondary institution that uses the SAT for an entrance exam.  This allows the students to have access to virtually all possible institutions available in the United States.

            Users can send and receive email from the different institution on specific questions that are not addressed in the site.  This site can be extremely valuable to high school students and will save counselor time, which can be used for other important and immediate responsibilities.
