AI is becoming SI: **Superior Intelligence.**

For today’s students, the question isn’t simply, “Will AI change the job market?”

It’s **how will you prepare for a world where AI can outperform humans at more and more tasks?**

That could change:

🎓 Which college majors have the strongest future
💼 Which careers offer growing opportunities
🧠 Which skills employers will value most
🤖 How students learn, research and solve problems
📈 How young people can stand out in an AI-enhanced world

For students in **8th–11th grade**, college planning can’t just be about getting into college.

It should also be about **where the world may be 5, 10 and 20 years from now.**

At **A Through Z College Planning**, we stay on top of the long-term trends affecting college, careers, admissions and scholarships so families can make better-informed decisions.

🎓 **Choosing the right college is important. Choosing the right MAJOR may be even more important.**

Research cited by the Snow College Career Center found a significant difference between students who used **FOCUS 2** and those who did not:

✅ **61% of FOCUS 2 users stayed with their major**
❌ Only **22% of non-users stayed with their major**

That’s **nearly 3X the major-retention rate.**

At **A Through Z College Planning**, we don’t want students simply asking:

**“Where should I go to college?”**

We want them asking:

**“What career fits me, what should I major in, and which colleges are best for that path?”**

That’s why career and major exploration is an important part of our college planning process.

“BTW, I also got into SCAD, ASU, NAU, and Webster. And I got scholarships!”

Those are the messages we love getting from our students.

Getting into college is one thing.

Getting into MULTIPLE colleges — with scholarships — gives students something even more valuable:

**OPTIONS.**

The goal of college planning isn’t simply to get accepted. It’s to build a strategy that helps students:

🎓 Find colleges that are the right fit
💰 Position themselves for scholarships
📝 Build stronger applications
🎯 Create multiple choices when decision time arrives

And the earlier you start, the more opportunities you may have.

🤖 **THE ROBOTS MAY NOT TAKE OVER THE WORLD… BUT A.I. IS DEFINITELY CHANGING IT.**

So you might as well get on the robots’ good side. 😎

A.I. is changing how we work, what companies need, and which careers could offer some of the strongest opportunities in the years ahead.

The answer isn’t to compete **against** A.I.

Learn how to work **WITH A.I.**

Students who understand technology, data, engineering, cybersecurity, robotics, healthcare, business, and how A.I. fits into those fields, may have a major advantage in tomorrow’s job market.

🎓 **For students in 8th–11th grade:** Now is the time to start thinking about the right career, major, college and high school strategy.

*SHOULD YOU APPLY TEST OPTIONAL?**

Just because a college says **“test optional”** does NOT automatically mean you should skip the SAT or ACT.

A strong test score may still help:

🎓 Strengthen your application
💰 Improve your scholarship opportunities
📈 Give admissions another reason to say YES
🏫 Help you stand out at competitive colleges

The bigger question isn’t simply **“Does the college require test scores?”**

The better question is:

**“Will submitting MY test score improve MY chances of admission or scholarships?”**

That decision should be made **college by college** and **student by student**.

Not sure whether you should submit your SAT or ACT scores?

**A Through Z College Planning** can help you build the right admissions and scholarship strategy.

🚨 **YALE COULD COST A LOT LESS THAN YOU THINK.**

Beginning with 2026–27 entering students, Yale is expanding financial aid for families with typical assets:

💰 **Family income under $100,000:** The **full cost of attendance may be covered** — including tuition, housing, food, travel and other expenses.

🎓 **Family income under $200,000:** Yale scholarships will **meet or exceed the cost of tuition.**

There’s just one catch…

👉 **YOU HAVE TO GET ADMITTED.**

And getting into a highly selective college like Yale doesn’t start senior year.

For students in **8th–11th grade**, now is the time to build the academic profile, course rigor, activities, leadership and overall college strategy that can make a student competitive.

**Start early. Know the rules. Build the right strategy.**

🚨 **HARVARD COULD COST LESS THAN YOUR STATE UNIVERSITY**

Yes, **Harvard.**

For families with **typical assets**:

🎓 **Under $100,000 family income:** Families generally pay **$0**

💰 **Under $200,000 family income:** Students receive **at least FREE TUITION**

There’s just one catch…

**YOU HAVE TO GET ADMITTED.**

And getting admitted to highly selective colleges doesn’t start senior year.

Students need to build the right academic profile, course rigor, activities, leadership, accomplishments, and college strategy **years before applications are submitted.**

If your student is in **8th–11th grade**, now is the time to start.

🚨 **MOST FAMILIES WILL NEVER KNOW THIS VANDERBILT SCHOLARSHIP EXISTS.**

And by the time they discover opportunities like this, their student may have **lost valuable years to build the profile needed to compete.**

Vanderbilt’s **Ingram Scholars Program** can provide:

🎓 Full Tuition
🏠 Housing
💰 Required Fees
🌎 Support for a summer service project

But here’s what parents need to understand:

**You don’t build a scholarship-winning resume during senior year.**

Leadership.
Community service.
Initiative.
Impact.

Those things take **YEARS** to develop.

That’s why college planning shouldn’t begin when applications open.

AI is changing how students learn—and how colleges evaluate their work.

As colleges move away from traditional AI detectors, the focus is shifting toward originality, critical thinking, communication, and demonstrating what students actually know.

For students in **8th–11th grade**, this is another reason to start preparing early. The skills colleges value are changing, and your college strategy needs to keep up.

🎓 Build the right college list
💰 Develop a scholarship strategy
📝 Strengthen your resume and activities
🎯 Position yourself for admissions
🚀 Prepare for college—and the career that follows

09/16/2026

🚨 IS USC IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE?
USC is one of the most recognized universities in the country — but families considering USC should be paying attention to what is happening financially.
USC reported a $251 million FY2025 deficit, and more than 1,000 employees have been affected by layoffs or restructuring since July 2025.
Now there is another development.
USC filed a California WARN notice on September 9, 2026 covering 65 additional positions at the Viterbi School of Engineering, with layoffs expected to begin in November.
Viterbi has also previously restructured academic advising, eliminating 57 adviser positions. Students subsequently reported difficulties getting advising appointments and registering for classes.
Does this mean USC is going to close?
No. USC has substantial financial resources, and its closure risk appears VERY LOW.
But that’s not the only question families should be asking.
The bigger question is:
Could continued budget reductions affect the student experience?
For students considering engineering or computer science, watch closely for changes involving:
• Academic advising
• Course availability and registration
• IT and technology support
• Laboratories and research support
• Faculty and academic staffing
• Undergraduate student services
Our current assessment:
⚠️ Financial Risk: MODERATE-HIGH
🟢 Closure Risk: VERY LOW
🔎 Recommendation: MONITOR CLOSELY
USC can still belong on a student’s college list. For Fall 2027 applicants, however, families should continue monitoring USC’s budget and whether additional reductions reach academic programs and student services.
College planning isn’t just about “Can I get admitted?”
It’s also about asking:
“What will this college look like during the four years I’m actually there?”
🎓 Parents of 8th–11th grade students: Start planning before application season.
