College Admissions; it’s hard. Learn from my experience.
My blog’s original narrative is complete. I started it in July, 2007 per suggestion of my friend Christopher S. Penn, to document my college admissions process. The process is fairly painful if you don’t know what you’re doing, and I certainly didn’t. If you’re a high school junior or sophomore, you can likely get something out of my story.
Back in July, I thought I would videoblog my admissions tours. I tried that for a while – it didn’t work. My equipment was terrible and production took too much time; I had other things to worry about, like taking the SATs or actually getting into college.
How can you learn the most from my experience and mistakes? I recommend reading the posts listed below. In detail, they explain virtually everything I had to go through in selecting schools, preparing for standardized tests, and applying to those schools.
