Tips & Time-savers: Begin to understand why you are going to college in the first place. What do you want out of this experience? Don’t be influenced by your classmates’ choices. Yours will be different! Be your own person in this important decision. Take your time. You want to know why you select the list of colleges to which you apply. Identify the characteristics that you need for four successful, happy and productive years in college. Instead of asking yourself, "Am I good enough for this college?" ask, "Is this college good enough for me?" Allow both your strengths and your weaknesses to direct you in your search for a strong college match. It’s never too late to change patterns in school. Put your best effort forward now!
