Students have 6 options for college admission. MyCollegeCalendar
highly recommends students use the Early Application

College
and University Applications
Start the college application process. The
entire process will take much longer than you think.
Campus Visits
College and university campus
visits are not optional for students. You
must tour campuses to experience their atmosphere
and culture first-hand, observe the characteristics
unique to each college and get a “feel” for
each campus to see if you fit in before making
a commitment on May 1 of your senior year.
Application
Essays
Start early on your college applications and application
essays. This is a lengthy, involved process
in which many colleges require multiple essays and
supplemental forms.
Financial Aid
Students, and especially
parents, should understand all aspects of financial
aid process.
Admission
Interviews
Be sure to schedule interviews
with the colleges and universities you are going
to apply to – it shows your genuine interest
in that college (a bonus factor for you) and
will allow you to get answers to questions you
may have.

When thinking about a major, you should consider
not only your interests but your skills, talents,
and personality. How will a particular major
help you capitalize on your natural talents and
interests?
