College applicants have plenty of places to go for
information about applying, getting in and paying for college. But the only sure way to make sure you’re
getting the best advice is to visit the websites of the colleges that interest
you.
Here are a few examples of the helpful (and accurate) information
applicants can find on colleges’ websites.
You can find the requirements for admission.
Some colleges share sample essays that worked.
Admissions staff blogs share their own advice, like whether
or not you should submit additional letters of recommendation.
FAQ sections can answer many of your questions.
And the financial aid sections can help you estimate your
costs and identify exactly what you need to do to apply for financial aid
(financial aid deadlines are often very different from admissions deadlines).
