At one time, applying for college was a simple process but now it's a competitive process that requires preparation and research for the best outcome. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, by 2013 college enrollment is projected to increase by 9 percent to 19.7 million students. Meanwhile, the American School Counselor Association reports that the national average ratio of students to counselors is only 476 to 1.
