"It would have been great if the College Board also offered more custom-to-me help and had more resources available once I chose my school and was transitioning to college"

# data[].attributes.body
Since I didn't take outside tutoring classes, it made me not want to take the SAT exam at all. If it was optional when I took it, I wouldn't have probably opted not to take it

# data[].attributes.body
I felt it was unjust that I could afford outside tutoring and counselors, when many other students couldn't. As a non-profit organization, the College Board should offer more help to those who can't afford it outside of their own school

# data[].attributes.body
Couldn't remember much about other College Board features that were helpful besides using it to sign up for AP and SAT exams

# data[].attributes.body
When asked about College Board features that were found helpful, she responded "no clue don't remember"

# data[].attributes.body
Didn't interact with the College Board besides taking AP exams, especially because she took the ACT instead of the SAT

# data[].attributes.body
Felt overwhelming to apply to all colleges already, but having to project manage and organize all of the different apps on her own made it even harder

# data[].attributes.body
Would like an easier way to keep track of everything that is needed for applications to all of the schools

# data[].attributes.body
Wished that the College Board offered more custom-to-me help to understand what schools are likely, reaches, safety, etc and then offering more resources for the majors of each of those colleges

# data[].attributes.body
"The hardest part of the college application process was just organizing all of the different app requirements, figuring out what schools to even apply to to make sure I had some safeties, some likelies, some reaches, etc"

# data[].attributes.body
Faced some challenges finding times and locations for the SAT

# data[].attributes.body
"I interacted with the College Board mostly to take my SAT and AP exams. It gets tiring to have to keep paying a company to take a test. Paying for them to tell me I didn’t do well enough on something" (giggles)

# data[].attributes.body
"I also found it hard to actually find if schools had a unique major I’d be interested in, as it can be hard to find those more niche ones sometimes, so I’d often think they just didn’t exist only to find them out later."

# data[].attributes.body
Irritated that college websites and the College Board only market and present themselves in a positive light and aren't transparent about the pros and cons of each school.

# data[].attributes.body
Wished that the College Board included more information about the social experience of each college and honest communication from students available for students to see

# data[].attributes.body
Wishes there was more information about specific colleges available on the College Board site. Would have really liked more honest and clear breakdowns of what requirements are for each major, what limitations you have regarding taking electives, etc.

Knowing your dream school early makes it easier because you cut down the number of applications you have to submit and sign up processes you have to go through

# data[].attributes.body
"If there was something that I would change about the college application process, I would make them have one Common App for every school and have the process start in your junior year, so it isn't as stressful your senior year"

# data[].attributes.body
Wished there was an "auto-fill" feature for AP exams so that it would remember your information and you didn't have to fill out the information in your test booklet each time you take an AP exam

# data[].attributes.body
Thinks it is unfair that scores are skewed higher for kids that can afford outside tutoring for the SAT and AP exams

# data[].attributes.body
Wished there were tutoring classes offered by the College Board for the SAT/AP Exams

# data[].attributes.body
Faced challenges filling out the financial aid section because he didn't know what he was doing

# data[].attributes.body
"The hardest part about filling out the college applications was making sure that I didn't make any errors or didn’t divulge information correctly"

# data[].attributes.body
Found the sign-up process for exams tedious. There were individual "sign-up sessions" for the SAT and AP exams every year before the actual test. "It was a process of divulging personal info, like race, parent's background, etc."

# data[].attributes.body
Frustrated having to always fill out forms for the AP exams, since he took 6 AP classes

# data[].attributes.body
"The only interaction I had with the College Board was through taking their SAT and AP exams"

# data[].attributes.body
"I didn't know how to answer some of the questions about the colleges (major, dorm preferences, etc.)"

# data[].attributes.body
"My college guidance counselors were really helpful in the process. They would host Common App workshops, but also give me individual feedback on all of my essay answers. They would also help me with applications that weren’t on the Common App"

# data[].attributes.body
"If there was something that I would change about the college application process, it would be to have a mandatory mentor from each college to help you walk through everything. You could make appointments with them and more"

# data[].attributes.body
"Personalized reminders when deadlines are approaching for applications would be a very helpful that College Board could offer"

# data[].attributes.body
"The hardest part of the college application process was keeping track of everything and knowing what to write for the essays"

# data[].attributes.body
Took the ACT exam (not through the College Board) and the sign up process was easy

# data[].attributes.body
Frustrated keeping track of all the different papers, applications, documents, etc. belonging to the college application process

# data[].attributes.body
Wished there was a mentor or representative from the school that she could reach out to with questions

# data[].attributes.body
Would like reminder emails about deadlines

# data[].attributes.body
"It was overwhelming because I was a first-generation college student"

# data[].attributes.body
"I felt unsure the entire time wondering if I did all I needed to do for my applications"
