Your future starts now
Get real. Glossy come-ons mean nothing in the face of your SAT results, GPA, and application essay. The only way to score is to get as much info as possible ahead of time; and to separate the teases from the (almost) sure things. Otherwise you could find yourself out hundreds of dollars in application fees with little chance of admission. Or worse, you could end up at a school you hate. Getting the goods on colleges is easier than you think. In less time than it would take to get an appointment with your advisor -- if you've got one -- you can talk to sophomores eager to exaggerate their freshman-year exploits, check out results of independent surveys, and even apply for financial aid. In true college-student style, you can dump your info into the computer and let the Net do most of the work. We know what you're thinking, but don't do it. Until you know exactly what you're looking for, individual school home pages are a waste of time. (Unless, of course, you're one of those 13-year-olds who plans ahead.) Better to use all those good study habits you've developed. Figure out what you want in a college, then check the schools that fit your specific needs. So get crackin'. No pressure or anything, but the rest of your life depends upon it. |
