Students applying to top-ranked universities this Fall face tougher competition than ever before. Schools like Harvard, Stanford, and Columbia have reported receiving record numbers of applications for Fall 2011, yet the number of spaces they are offering has not increased.

With many top-ranked universities having to send rejection letters to 90% or more of their applicants, it is important for students to have a "Plan B" in case they are not one of the fortunate very few to get accepted to their first choice schools.
With more than 4000 accredited colleges and universities in the United States, the choices for "Plan B" schools are vast. Plan B schools need not be the school where you will complete your program, they can be just a stepping stone to your dream university. You can improve your chances of getting accepted to your dream school by applying as a transfer student after completing at least 1-2 years of general education courses at another college or university.
Many nationally- and regionally-ranked colleges and universities are still accepting applications for Fall 2011 so it is not too late to apply to some very good schools. American Education Partners has experienced school placement advisors who can develop a solid long-term education plan and help you apply to many great schools for Fall.
