College Hopes and Worries Survey - 2009

The Princeton Review conducts our College Hopes and Worries survey of college applicants and parents of applicants to gauge their expectations surrounding the college admissions process.  Respondents are readers of The Best 368 Colleges and users of our website. 

During the months of January through mid-March we collected 15,722 responses - 12,715 from college applicants and 3,007 from parents - representing all 50 states, DC, the Virgin Islands, Guam and Puerto Rico.  An abridged summary is below.

How necessary will financial aid (education loans, scholarships or grants) be to pay for your (your child's) college education?

What's your biggest concern about applying to or attending college?
