Although college planning can be a stressful process, it can also be an exciting one. It is a big step toward your future success.
College planning can be summarized by three operative words: Organize, Research, and Verify.
-
Organize both your application work and your college exploration process. Approach your college search systematically by setting a schedule for planning and managing your time accordingly.
-
Research a number of schools by using a variety of resources: the Internet, school literature, your high school career center, and people who know the process. Make sure that you involve your parents with each step of the process.
-
Verify your college choices by comparing them on the Internet and by visiting the campuses.
