College admissions is tougher than ever. Over 20 million people in the U.S. try to get into college each year. Each of these students applies to many schools--5, 10, perhaps as many as 20--and each of those applications has a daunting number of T's to cross and I's to dot. With standardized test taking and school visits, the college application essay to write and forms to fill out, there is so much to do.
