GETTING THROUGH THE COLLEGE APPLICATIONS

9/24/2019

As the month of September comes to a close, the college application to-do list time-line starts to come into greater focus for many students.  There are essays to write, applications to fill out, and many other tasks with high school counselors, letters of recommendation, etc. to manage.  Staying organized with this process so as not to feel overwhelmed will be key to successfully completing applications. This college application checklist is really helpful for students to keep track of tasks they need to complete.  It is also important to realize that there are a tremendous number of on-line resources to guide the process. For example, if you need an overview of how to complete the activities section of the Common App, this article can help. If you need guidance on completing the UC Personal Insight Questions, the UC website has great information.  Don’t be hesitant to research information or reach out to a trusted counselor, parent, or friend to help you with this process.

The skill of asking for help is so very important to college success, and the college application process is a great time to practice that skill.  Think about the areas where you could benefit from the guidance of another, and practice advocating for what you need.  This skill will be so useful in college, as you will feel increasingly comfortable in the role of self-advocate.  Remember that all the effort of applying to college is not just to get into college, but to be successful in college.
