Tips for Success
Apply to between 3-6 schools – any less and you limit yourself too much; any more and the process may become too large to manage.
Don't rule out a school because of finances until you have heard the final decision on all scholarships and financial aid.
Don't be late! Make sure to meet all of your deadlines.
Keep all correspondence from every school you are interested in, and separate it into neat stacks Remember, that letter you lose could be a scholarship notification.
Get to know a college representative at the schools you are interested in. You need a contact person on the campus, and you may need personalized help with problems or questions.
Follow a college preparatory curriculum in high school if at all possible.
Most important: Don't be afraid to ask questions. You are what makes a university tick. They need you, not the reverse. Be aggressive, find out what you need to know and don’t be afraid to ask tough questions.
