1. Start Early but Don't Overwhelm Yourself
Begin preparing for college applications as soon as possible, but allocate time each day to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

2. Stay Organized
Use tools like Google Sheets to keep track of application deadlines, essays, scholarships, and letters of recommendation.

3. Craft Your Story
Focus on what makes you unique as an applicant and highlight your achievements and passions. Tailor your application to align with your intended major and the values of each university.

4. Write Compelling Essays
Common App essay is important. Have a structured approach that includes a clear story, observation, and reflection.

5. Maximize Extracurriculars and Awards
Prioritize extracurricular activities and honors that demonstrate your interests, leadership, and impact. Highlight significant achievements and leadership roles.

6. Prepare for College Life
Create a personalized living space with resources like Dormify, embrace uncertainty, and understand that college decisions do not define your worth.

7. Choose the Right Fit
Look for what you need for your academic and lifestyle preference.
