You’re right Tamara–adding it to my next 25!
Honored to be included in this valuable list for college-bound students and their parents.
Thanks so much for including @knowsymoms!
Love for you to add school counselors to your list! I attached my list for any parents who would like to check it out! There are many of us on Twitter now. These are a few of my favorites: @jacketcounselors @bmhscounselors @rosEcounselor @PHSCouns!
https://twitter.com/CounselorHolley/lists/school-counselors. Thank you for all you do to help parents and students navigate the transition from High School to College!
Thanks Donna.You can bet they will be on my next list. Or better yet, maybe I’ll make a Twitter list of school counselors!
Love being on the list, Suzanne. Thanks!
I am honored to be included! Thank you!
We’d love to be included on one of your lists! https://twitter.com/Ctr4CollegeCost
You bet. Look for it shortly in my 50 + 50 college prep websites.
Don’t forget us: @nacac 🙂
You bet! Thanks for leaving a comment. Look for a new list soon!
Great list. I’d love to be included next time: @english_musings.
Will do. Thanks for leaving a comment with your info.
Fantastic list Suzanne. Loved it in 2012 and loving the additions. I’d love to be included next time.
@admissionsmarts Thanks for all your work!
Absolutely Susan!
Thanks for putting this together. I would like to toss my name into the running too – have been tweeting for many years.
@collegeadvisor
Sure Kiersten. I will add you to the next 25.
If you are interested in adding us, we have been organizing college visits for 20+ years @CVTOURS
Every college bound student or parent of a teenager should add these to their Twitter feed–there’s a lot of great advice coming out of this group!
