ABOUT THE SERIES
More students than ever are graduating from high school, intensifying competition for admission to many colleges -- particularly selective schools.

This is the final installment, in which you'll learn the deadline choices for Mao Lee and:
Tommy DeMarco of St. Paul, a star student trying to find a values-based, cost-conscious match.
Jennifer VonFelden of Richfield, who would be the first in her immediate family to get a four-year degree.
Luna Yang of Plymouth, whose perfect SAT score gave her a shot at the top colleges in the country.
