College or bust. Forget football, forget rugby. In the town where I live, the college admissions process is more competitive than any contact sport. This blog chronicles the process.

Let the Bankruptcy Begin!

I’m beginning to think that the months leading up to college are similar to the months leading up to having a baby. In addition to the excitement and anticipation, there’s the intermittent nausea and slow but steady trickle of expenses.

Off the top of my head, here’s what we’ve already spent or will spend shortly:

Peterson’s PSAT guide: $12.95
PSAT practice test: $25
Official PSAT test: $12
SAT online review: $69
AP exam: $85.00
A++ computer repair certification exam: $200
SAT: $41.50
ACT: $29 + $14 for writing component add on
SAT subject tests: $18 for one plus another $8.00 for additional tests

Not to mention the sums I’ve already spent on aspirin and antacid tablets!
