Me going into junior year: “we’re starting NOW”

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.

your videos are so good! because of your SAT prep video I got 1500+ on my SAT, thank you so much for all your tips!! :D

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

is there a resource where I can find accepted essays in a particular college?

[yomama]

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
