FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Mary Clare Jensen ACROSS THE COUNTRY HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS CollegeClickTV.com’s Unscientific Exit Poll At SAT Prep Centers Shows Optimism NEW YORK (February 10, 2009) – Online college resource, CollegeClickTV.com, conducted a unscientific poll of 1620 high school juniors currently taking SAT prep classes, to better understand the thinking of those investing their time and money in pursuit of a higher SAT score. The informal poll discovered that fifty-nine percent of the optimistic high school students felt that “of course” their college education would be worth it five years after they graduate. Over half of those surveyed understand the economic realities, and stated that they have discussed their finances with their parents as it pertains to going to college. Interestingly, the top three reasons for choosing a college will be culture (22%), cost (14%) and reputation (12%). “Generation Y’ers are heavily immersed in the digital world, and trust their friends and peers,” notes CollegeClickTV.com Founder Glenn Pere. “This is the reason we wanted the site to focus on authentic, unscripted peer-to-peer college video reviews. We’re saving families time and money by creating an online hub – allowing students to explore many more colleges, some of which they may not have considered otherwise, all without having to leave their home or step-foot on a college campus first.” President Eric Yaverbaum adds, “CollegeClickTV.com is a website that provides prospective college students with information from people they can relate best to through a medium they’re most familiar with. My daughter is going through the college search process now, and being able to get a far broader perspective from her peers will definitely impact her search and ultimately, which school she’ll want to go to.” The poll also revealed some other interesting statistics:
