A student’s advice on College Application and Admissions

Friday, February 8th, 2008

My two cents:

I would say, with regards to the admissions process, make sure you cover all your bases. Make sure you fill out all the necessary forms and that all the extra application forms, the financial aid forms, and other miscellaneous objects along the way are all taken care of. This will ensure that nothing is standing in your way for admissions nor any money you have coming to you. Also pay attention, spend time, and edit your essay. Make sure it really is one of your best pieces of writing. And lastly I would say as easy as it is to procrastinate about all of this, because it isn’t the easiest or most fun process, don’t leave it until the last minute. This may lead to doing it in a hurry and you may skip over something or just not fill it out to the best of your abilities. Good luck future students, hope you all get into your #1!
