About 'acceptance to college'|Acceptance week for college students:What to do right now!








The               process               of               applying               to               colleges--and               then               choosing               between               your               offers--can               seem               daunting,               but               it               needn't               be.

The               following               is               a               basic               roadmap               of               the               steps               you               need               to               take               in               order               to               successfully               apply               to               college.

Having               been               through               this               sometimes               terrifying               process               myself,               I               can               tell               you               that               if               you               start               early               and               stay               organized,               there's               nothing               to               worry               about.

Junior               Year               
               Schedule               Visits               
               By               now               you               should               have               a               pretty               good               idea               of               the               schools               in               which               you're               interested               enough               to               apply.

Once               you               have               a               shortlist,               start               scheduling               visits.

It               is               a               good               idea               to               visit               every               school               to               which               you               want               to               apply               in               you               junior               year.

Applying               to               a               school               you've               never               visited               is               like               getting               married               on               a               blind               date,               and               visiting               all               the               schools               your               junior               year               will               keep               you               senior               year               from               being               so               packed               with               visits               that               your               applications               become               frenzied.


               Most               schools               have               specific               visiting               and               tour               days,               on               which               a               large               number               of               students               come               and               see               the               campus               through               a               series               of               scheduled               events.

Search               university               websites               to               find               these               dates.

If               you're               like               me               and               prefer               to               tour               schools               alone,               call               the               admissions               office               of               a               university               to               schedule               a               visit.

Typically,               a               student               or               administrator               will               take               charge               of               the               day,               showing               you               the               campus               and               answering               any               questions               you               have.

You               may               also               be               scheduled               for               an               admissions               interview               if               the               school               requires               one.

As               a               bonus,               many               schools               will               waive               application               fees               if               you               visit               the               campus               by               a               certain               date.

Be               sure               to               visit               on               a               day               when               classes               are               in               session               so               you               can               see               what               a               day               on               campus               is               actually               like.
               Learn               About               Financial               Aid               and               Begin               Looking               for               Scholarships               
               Most               high               schools               begin               offering               information               sessions               to               their               students               during               junior               year.

If               so,               attend               one.

If               you               school               doesn't               offer               this,               virtually               all               universities               offer               financial               aid               information               sessions               during               group               tours,               or               offer               to               set               up               an               interview               for               you               with               a               member               of               their               financial               aid               staff               if               you               make               a               solo               visit.
               Many               people               decide               not               to               apply               for               FAFSA               (federal               aid)               because               they               know--or               think               they               know--that               they               won't               qualify               for               much.

This               is               one               of               the               worst               decisions               you               could               possibly               make.

While               you               probably               won't               be               getting               fat               cash,               a               subsidized               federal               loan               can               make               the               difference               between               being               able               and               not               being               able               to               pay               for               a               certain               school.

Please               also               be               aware               that               many               schools               do               not               consider               applicants               eligible               for               aid               from               the               university               unless               they               have               applied               for               FAFSA.
               During               this               time               you               should               also               begin               looking               for               and               applying               for               private               scholarships.

For               more               information               about               applying               for               financial               aid               and               different               types               of               scholarships,               please               read               my               article,               "Finding               Scholarships:               A               Guide               for               High               Schoolers               and               College               Students               Alike."
               Think               About               What               You               Want               
               Is               it               particularly               important               to               you               that               your               college               have               a               newspaper               program?

A               choir?

A               radio               station?

Do               you               know               what               you               want               to               major               in?

If               not,               will               your               ideal               school               have               a               major               discovery               program?

Do               you               want               to               be               in               the               middle               of               a               big               city,               or               far               removed               from               one               in               the               country?

Are               you               going               to               need               a               job?

If               so,               do               the               schools               you               are               considering               offer               on-campus               employment?

Are               they               near               private               businesses               that               might               employ               you?

This               is               the               time               to               think               about               what               is               most               important               to               you               in               a               school,               and               look               closely               at               which               schools               meet               these               criteria.

Try               not               to               focus               on               the               "name               brand"               of               a               given               university.

Going               to               Harvard               is               quite               an               accomplishment,               but               if               you               want               a               liberal               arts               education               in               a               rural               setting               with               a               student               population               of               2,000               or               less,               Harvard               is               not               for               you.

Remember,               this               is               going               to               be               your               home               and/or               primary               workplace               for               the               next               several               years.

Find               somewhere               you               can               be               happy,               while               receiving               the               education               that               you               want.
               Senior               Year
               Begin               Applications               and               Application               Essays               
               This               is               where               crunch               time               begins.

Organize               your               applications.

Buy               a               pocket               folder               for               each               school               to               keep               all               of               the               papers               associated               with               the               application               process.

Pick               out               teachers               you               feel               would               give               you               a               positive               recommendation               if               your               school               requires               a               letter               or               form               (and               virtually               all               of               them               do),               and               give               them               the               necessary               information               well               in               advance               of               the               deadline.

As               a               rule               of               thumb,               no               less               than               two               weeks               notice               should               be               given.

If               you               really               want               to               wow               them               with               your               preparedness,               give               three               weeks               to               a               month               advance               notice.

Be               clear               about               deadlines,               and               supply               addressed               and               stamped               envelopes               (usually               provided               by               the               university               in               the               application               packet).

Be               sure               to               thank               teachers               who               take               time               to               write               a               letter--a               thank               you               note               is               always               a               nice               touch.
               Begin               your               essays               as               soon               as               you               can.

If               you               have               the               topics,               begin               the               summer               beforehand.

Have               the               whole               essay               completed               by               the               time               school               starts.

It               doesn't               have               to               be               perfect               at               this               point.

Proofread               it               and               look               for               major               errors               in               spelling,               mechanics,               etc.

Then,               ask               a               member               of               the               English               department               at               your               school               (your               past               or               present               teacher               is               the               best               choice)               to               review               your               essay.

Chances               are               they               have               done               this               before,               and               would               be               happy               to               do               it               again.

Provide               the               prompt,               and               tell               them               it               is               fine               to               write               on               the               essay               copy               that               you               have               given               them.

As               with               recommendation               letters,               advance               notice               is               a               requirement.

Unlike               with               recommendation               letters,               the               minimum               advance               notice               for               an               essay               review               is               about               one               month.

Remember,               these               people               have               other               assignments               and               papers               to               read               over               for               their               classes               as               well.

Be               patient               and,               as               always,               express               your               thanks               when               the               deed               is               done.


               Review               and               revise               your               essay               until               it               looks               how               you               want               it               to.

Proofread               it               one               last               time               (you               simply               cannot               do               this               enough).

Once               you               have               everything               together,               put               your               application               in               the               envelope               and               mail               it               (or               press               send               if               you're               completing               it               online).

Now               breathe.

You're               done.

The               best               plan               is               to               have               all               your               applications               submitted               by               November               1.

This               usually               is               not               a               deadline               (except               possibly               for               early               decision)               but               if               it's               all               in               by               then,               there's               nothing               for               you               to               worry               about,               and               nothing               to               interrupt               your               end-of-year               festivities.
               Submit               Financial               Aid               and               FAFSA               Applications;               Finish               Scholarship               Applications               
               Be               sure               to               submit               these               one               time.

Failure               to               do               so               could               result               in               a               $35,000               bill               that               neither               the               government               nor               the               school               will               be               helping               you               to               pay.

Any               private               scholarship               applications               or               school               scholarship               competition               days               should               be               organized               and               completed.

It               never               hurts               to               try,               and               if               you               don't               you'll               always               wonder               if               that               money               could               have               been               yours.
               Make               the               Big               Decision               
               All               right.

It's               happened.

Your               acceptance               letters               are               all               in.

They're               sitting               on               a               table,               still               in               the               envelopes,               all               lined               up.

Take               a               deep               breath--and               open               them.

Put               the               rejection               letters               in               one               pile.

Tear               them               up.

Recycle               them.

Don't               dwell.

Now               turn               to               the               monumentally               happier               task               of               considering               your               acceptance               letters.

Maybe               you               know               right               away               which               school               to               choose.

If               so,               fantastic!

Go               ahead               and               skip               to               step               4.

If               not,               it's               list-making               time.

Create               pro/con               and               comparison               lists               for               every               school               you               are               still               considering.

Be               brutally               honest:               Lying               to               yourself               now               will               only               make               you               miserable               later.

Be               sure               to               consider               everything,               every               factor:               location,               cost,               aid,               areas               of               study,               extracurricular               programs,               study               abroad               options,               size,               school               colors--everything.

This               is               a               big               decision               that               no               one               can               successfully               make               for               you.

Don't               be               rash.

Take               your               time               and               follow               your               gut               reactions.

If               you               can,               do               this               with               someone:               a               parent,               sibling,               friend,               creepy               neighbor--it's               all               good.

It's               nice               to               have               someone               to               bounce               your               notions               off               of,               even               if               they               don't               actively               contribute               to               the               decision-making               process.
               Once               you've               chosen               a               school,               send               the               enclosed               reply               cards               (or               original               letters)               of               thanks               but               decline               for               offers               from               the               schools               you               will               not               be               attending.

Then               tear               up               the               letters.

Recycle               them.

Don't               dwell.

Turn               to               the               papers               from               your               new               school,               and               follow               their               instructions               to               accept               their               offer               and               claim               your               financial               aid.
               Jump               Up               and               Down               and               Smile               A               Lot               Because               You               Are               Soon               to               Be               a               College               Student
               Schedule               a               Visit               
               Visit               your               chosen               college               again,               this               time               as               a               future               student.

Ask               the               new               questions               you               have.

Check               out               the               dorm               rooms               and               the               cafeteria.

Start               getting               used               to               the               campus               as               your               new               home.
               Go               Home               and               Enjoy               the               Rest               of               Your               Senior               Year,               and               Get               Ready               for               College               In               the               Fall!
