TIMELESS TIPS FOR PLANNING YOUR COLLEGE SEARCH
No matter your class year, here are some ways you can reduce stress.
#1
Treat the college search like an elective class
Dedicate 1-2 hours each week to research, test prep, outreach, and participation in virtual or in-person activities.
#2
Stay organized
Create a college search calendar (in the cloud or on the fridge!) so your entire family is aware of important application and scholarship deadlines, test dates, and college-specific events.
#3
Email, email, email
Identify one email account for the college search and check it often. Interested in a college? Open, read, click, and reply. Not interested? Unsubscribe to save space in your Inbox.
#4
Start a spreadsheet or journal
Compare stats and keep a pros and cons list as you research and visit schools.
