Organize all your college application
materials and prepare to complete all forms.
Start early on your college applications and application essays. This
is a lengthy, involved process with some colleges requiring
multiple essays and supplemental forms. Over the next
several weeks, fill in all the requested information on the
paper applications. After the paper applications
are completed and your application essays are finalized, you
will submit applications electronically to each college by
typing-in the information from your paper applications and
pasting your essays into spaces provided.
Essays are the most time consuming part of the application
process. Start to think about your essay subjects and
begin writing essay rough drafts as soon as possible. Remember,
you’ll be writing admission essays for your selected
7 colleges and universities. It will take longer than
you think to write, proof read, rewrite, proof read, have parents
and/or teachers proof read, make suggested changes, and finalize
all your essays.
Develop a list of essay questions from all your college and
university applications. See if any essay questions are
duplicates or if any of the questions are so similar you can
effectively reuse the same essay with only slight modifications.
Be sure to use filing
systems to organize all application forms
and documents.
