College Hopes & Worries Survey 2010

 
     
 
 



WE KNOW APPLYING TO COLLEGES IS STRESSFUL

Why Not Win $1,000 for it?


Participate in our 2010 “College Hopes & Worries Survey.”  

You might win our college scholarship prize.

The Princeton Review has conducted this survey of high school students applying to colleges and parents of applicants since 2002. Why? We’re curious to know what concerns you the most about your application experiences and what your dream college would be.

Our survey has just 15 questions – way shorter than any college app. You can zip through it in less than three minutes. Plus, in addition to our $1,000 scholarship prize we’ll give to one lucky participant chosen at random, we’ll give another 25 participants (also chosen at random) a free copy of one of our college-related guidebooks.  They can chose from either our newest book, The Portable Guidance Counselor, our Paying for College Without Going Broke: 2010 Edition, our Guide to College Majors: 2010 Edition, or our Parents’ Guide to College Life. In March, about the time you’ll (hopefully) be receiving those college acceptance and financial aid award letters, we’ll post the findings on our site and inform the scholarship winner and book winners. For more information, see “OFFICIAL RULES” below.

We know how exciting and how stressful college applications can be. We hope the college info on our site and in our books helps you find (and get in to!) the college best for you.  We wish you great success in your applications and your college years ahead.
