Hi guys! I'm a junior in high school, and I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed with the college application process. I know there are a lot of resources out there, but I'm not sure where to start. Can anyone recommend any websites, books, or other resources that have been helpful in navigating the process? I'd really appreciate any suggestions!
Hey there! It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed by the college application process. Luckily, there are plenty of resources available to help guide you. A good starting point is the College Board's website, which provides a lot of helpful information on college applications, SAT/ACT testing, and scholarships. You can create an account there to start your college search and save colleges you're interested in. Another useful website is Common App (commonapp.org) that makes applying to multiple colleges easier. For more personalized advice, check out College Confidential forums where students, parents, and experts discuss various aspects of the college admissions process. Additionally, 'Fiske Guide to Colleges' and 'The College Panda's SAT Essay' are great books to have on hand. Lastly, don't forget to speak with your high school counselor, who can provide valuable guidance and support. Good luck with your college journey!
