As a result of the competitive nature of the college admission process, parents are constantly looking for anything that will give them and their children an edge over other applicants. With many schools cutting back on the number of students they admit, and with the requirements for admission becoming more and more rigorous each year, many parents are looking to do everything they can to help their children get into the college or university of their choice.

Private schools are by no means cheap though – tuition at some can cost as much as tuition at some colleges and universities. So what other options does a parent who wants to prepare a student for college have?
