Applying to college requires filling out a lot of papers. This can be tedious, but it is crucial that you take your time to do it correctly and thoughtfully.
APPLICATIONS
Some colleges have their own, specialized applications -- you will be able to print one off their website or have one sent to you. However, many colleges use a "common application," meaning you can fill out one application and use it at multiple colleges. Obviously, this saves time.
APPLY TEXAS APPLICATION
If you plan to attend a school in Texas, you can fill out the Apply Texas Application (formerly known as the Texas Common Application) online at www.applytexas.org. You will need to create a username and password (one you can remember) in order to log in and update your application.
* It might be helpful to pick up a paper application in the Student Advising Center and fill it out, then use it to complete the on-line application.
DEADLINES
Application deadlines vary for every college, so you should check college websites to be sure you get your application in on time. Many schools have two deadlines: one for early decision admission and one for regular admission.
