College Application Tips

College is one of the main focus points for the juniors and seniors throughout high school. Therefore, there are many college application tips to get them on the right path when submitting anything to colleges. You must know how to prepare yourself when getting ready to fill out college applications.
Senior Ariel Phillips was interviewed earlier this week and she gave us a few key points on how to prepare for filling out a college application. She stated, “You should start completing them early.” Also, “Students should set deadlines for completing essays, collecting recommendations, and filling out forms a few weeks before they are actually required”, said Ariel.
Senior Tanelle Parker, was also interviewed earlier this week. She told us a very important key point when preparing for college applications. “You should be careful when filling out college applications”, said Tanelle. What she is trying to let us know is that careless mistakes on your application can hurt your chances of getting accepted into the school you would like to attend. For example, if you misspell any words throughout your application, some colleges will look at the fact that you did not take the time out to proofread your application and the college will not take your application as seriously.
Junior, Kembrya O’Neal was asked if she had any tips for preparing for college applications and she stated, “You need to alert your school, meaning that you should let school officials know which you are applying to so they can send out your transcripts.” That is a very good statement in many ways. One important way is that she is a junior and her mind is in the right place.
