Applying to college can be stressful, and many seniors may feel lost. It’s important to keep three things in mind: time, involvement, and confidence.
Time is majorly important during college applications. Make sure to keep in mind any deadlines but also manage your time wisely. Set aside specific time to work on college essays and supplementals so that you won’t feel overwhelmed and burdened with a bunch of work before deadlines hit. To help with this, limit phone time usage and get your school work done as soon as possible so you won’t feel behind.
Involvement is important as well in showing that you will have an active role at the schools you wish to attend. Make sure to include all your clubs, sports, volunteering, and other activities in your application. If you feel behind in this, make sure to join some clubs and activities you enjoy to improve your involvement and show schools that you are a well-rounded applicant.
The key to applying to college is to have confidence and not doubt yourself. Take pride in your hard work over the last few years and recognize that you have talents, skills, and intelligence that many schools would be lucky to have!
