Tips For Applying To College

We know. It's an interesting time in your life when applying to colleges. What to choose? Who to talk to? And of course, where to go! Here's a quick run down of the best tips for applying to college.

Show off your personality

Use your essay to tell us about a part of your personality we would not get from the rest of your application.

Make yourself known.

Introduce yourself to the admission counselors during your visit. Email them directly with questions and don’t hesitate to pick up that phone.

Meet with faculty

Set up meetings with professors. They love it!

Wanna be friends?

Pay attention to the other students you see on campus, and try to imagine being friends with them.

Are they on Instagram?

Check out the school’s social media pages. You’ll get an inside look into the daily lives of students, professors and life on campus

Don't wait to apply for scholarships!

Apply before you are ever admitted.

Where you'll call home.

Find a college where you want to LEARN for the next 4 years…but also where you want to LIVE for the next 4 years.

Visit, visit, and visit more.

Visit as many campuses as possible. It’s the best way to learn if a school is the right fit for you. Some campuses may deserve a second visit. Why not? It’s free!

START EARLY.

On everything. From visiting campuses to writing college essays. It’s never too early to practice.
