Steps to a Successful College Application Process
|
|
|
The college application process can seem daunting. Add in the complications that come from applying during a global pandemic, and many students are ready to throw in the towel before they’ve even begun. Here are a few tips for a successful college application process.
Figure Out What’s Important to You
You don’t need to have your entire career path set before applying to college, but you should spend some time listening to yourself and reflecting on what’s important to you. For example, if you’re interested in English, you probably don’t want to attend a school that focuses on business programs. Also, consider just how far away from you’d like to be. Before you start the process, make sure that you’ve thought about what’s truly important to you, and then go about researching schools that meet your criteria. This will significantly cut down on the schools you need to research, allow you to focus your time on viable schools, and prevent your final list of schools from becoming overwhelming.

It’s important to remember, however, that college admission counselors are just that — admission counselors — we are looking to your application for reasons to admit you to our college or university. With that in mind, here are some ways to set yourself apart in the college application process.
