NEW YORK, March 17, 2020 — It’s nail-biting season for the three million high school seniors applying to college — and for their equally anxious parents. Now through April, college decision letters and financial aid award offers are landing in inboxes and mailboxes nationwide. According to The Princeton Review® — the education services company that has helped students research and gain admission to colleges since 1981 — stress levels among applicants and their parents this year are high. So are worries about footing the bills should their ideal college say “You’re in!”
For many prospective college students, taking the SATs and ACTs is a nerve-wracking, anxiety-producing experience. While the SAT can certainly help some students by potentially acting as a type of equalizer for those with lower high school grades, a growing body of research shows that placing so much weight in these types of exams can cause crippling anxiety. In 2018, Jennifer Heissel, an associate professor at the Graduate School of Business and Public Policy at the Naval Postgraduate School, studied stress levels from a group of New Orleans elementary school students before and after they took a standardized test. The findings did not bode well for the exams. The test increased the children's cortisol (a stress hormone) levels, which in turn led to poor results.
The West Coast of the US might only be made up of three states, but that doesn’t mean it is lacking in excellent universities. Home to some of the best universities in the country, the West Coast is a good place to head to if you are looking for beautiful nature and bustling cities and towns. There are many points of interest that should be on every traveller’s bucket list, including Seattle Harbour, Big Sur, Lake Tahoe, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas and so much more. As a student, you’ll never run out of things to do if you head to the West Coast to study and you won’t be lacking in choice of great colleges.
