Hi there! With college applications coming up, I'm having trouble figuring out how to prioritize my tasks. What should I focus on first, and how can I make sure I'm using my time effectively? Thanks for your help!
Hey there! I recently went through the college application process with my child, so I can share some tips on what worked for us. First, focus on creating a list of colleges you're interested in applying to. Research each college and note their application deadlines, requirements, and any supplemental materials needed. Next, prioritize completing your main application essay (usually the Common App or Coalition App essay). This will give you a strong foundation to work on any additional essays required by specific schools. After that, work on gathering any necessary documents, such as transcripts, recommendation letters, and test scores. Allocate time to complete supplemental essays for each college on your list, keeping track of your progress. Make sure to meet all deadlines and double-check your applications before submitting them. Good luck, and I hope this helps you stay organized and use your time effectively during the application process!
