    As an old guy, I commend the preparation and discipline you put into this endeavor. This whole application process seems to be designed to be overwhelming and daunting.

    Know the due dates for each college
    Spend more time and effort filling in colleges you want to apply to.
    Be your authentic self when writing the essays, dont tempt to write the perfect essay.
    Know what college admissioners want to hear from you when you write your essay.
    Dont compare yourself to other people’s experiences, the way colleges admit people are unpredictable, so you never know.
    START NOW!! Fill in the Common App application and draft essays

    hello! i was wondering where i could research about a university’s student life/culture? i know that you could find this information in the college website, but i feel like it’s better to hear it from a current student’s perspective

    • @joyzou
      @joyzou  Рік тому +18

      hey, that’s a great question! besides college websites, there are typically “day in the life” videos made by current students you can watch on youtube. you can also go through the university’s reddit page and read through what students are posting. if you follow a college’s admissions instagram page, some universities have student take-overs where current students bring you through a day in their life via insta stories and answer questions. university clubs typically also have instagrams you can look through to see what goes on there. if you know anyone going, reaching out to them is always a good idea + if you're able to tour, that can be pretty valuable too. i'm sure i'm missing some but these are the first things that come to mind :) hope this was helpful!
