Ready? Set... GO!!

I have had a chance to e-mail or chat with a few seniors in the last couple of days and have realized that many of you are waiting to start working on your college applications until you get back to school. Please (PLEASE!) don't wait! The time to start working on your applications is now. That doesn't mean you have to have the entire application complete, but begin working on your essays, start filling out the "easier" paperwork section that requires name, address, and other basic information because it can become time-consuming, and (if you still haven't done so) put together your list of activities and experiences you have had during high school so that you can add that information to your applications easily.

And, if you still don't know which schools you will be applying to - it is definitely time to start determining your list. Use PrepHQ to help you search for the characteristics of a school that you are looking for and, if possible, go and visit different campuses. (Of course, if you make visits to schools, don't forget to bring me a picture!)
