We're Celebrating National Decision Day With You!

May 1 is National College Decision Day, and we want to celebrate it with you! Check out these awesome students' post-high school plans.

Today is National College Decision Day, which means many students are making the big decision on what they’ll be doing this fall. We want to congratulate all the students who worked hard to get to where they are today! Whether it’s a four-year college, two-year college, community college, military school, gap year, or something else—whatever you’ve chosen to do after you graduate high school, we want to celebrate you!

Some CollegeXpress students sent us pictures and videos of what their future after high school will be. These students are happy and proud they followed their dreams, and we couldn’t be more thrilled for them!

“I’m so excited to announce that I will be going to Virginia Tech next year! I decided to tell the world in the most unique way possible—I baked my first cake! It doesn’t look great, but it definitely tasted good! I’m so excited for the future because of what opportunities it may bring. My intended major is Computer Science, and I love watching how the field grows—especially advances with space photography and virtual reality! I am ready to make my mark on Virginia Tech and eventually the world.”

“I am so excited to say that I will be taking a gap semester in the workforce and then be attending Old Dominion University in spring 2020. This school is about 40 minutes away from where I live, and there is no residency requirement for freshman, so I can commute and not have to pay room and board. I cannot wait to start on the next stage of my life.”

As a high schooler, I know how hard it is to plan for college. You have to consider a lot of factors: SAT/ACT scores, college searches, scholarships, and more. CollegeXpress has been a helpful resource that solves all these problems. One can easily create a free account and search away. They help you search for scholarships and colleges, they have graduate program search, they have lists and rankings, and so much more. CX also has a lot of articles and advice to read—whether it’s financial aid, test prep, campus visits, internships/careers, or anything. Not only that, CX gives out free scholarship money to students who sign up and create a free CX account. I love CX and will continue to use it! Thank you CollegeXpress for making my college journey easier!

For a long time, I've been searching everywhere to find the perfect website I can get scholarships and information from. Needless to say, I could never find the right one. That was, until I found CollegeXpress. Through my journey of finding the right scholarships for me, I was able to find articles about different things. They've all been helpful, especially in times like this! I was even able to connect with some of my favorite colleges! I love CollegeXpress. Thank you!

My favorite part of CollegeXpress is that it features student writers so I get an inside perspective from students slightly older and farther along than me. I realize that other college websites also utilize student writers; however, I relate the most to the college writers that I read articles from on CollegeXpress.

CollegeXpress has helped me in many ways. For one, online searches are more organized and refined by filtering scholarships through by my personal and academic interests. Due to this, it has made searching for colleges and scholarships significantly less stressful. As a student, life can already get stressful pretty quickly. For me, it’s been helpful to utilize CollegeXpress since it keeps all of my searches and likes together, so I don’t have to branch out on multiple websites just to explore scholarship options.

CollegeXpress helped open me up to many colleges that fit my interests. I’m only a sophomore in high school, so I like having a lot to look at, and CX does a great job of picking colleges that meet my wants. It's a great website that I'll continue to use until it comes time for me to apply for colleges. I also like that it notifies me through email with options to look at. Thanks CX!
