College Help!!?

Are you talking about 4 year university? or 2 year community college?

if a 2 year, then you don't have to worry, They don't turn people down....

If you're talking about a 4 year uni, then I would advise you to seek help with any "writing lab" in any college campus if you need. Also do a search on line for papers which were accepted and follow their style.

However, I would suggest you enter a 2 year community college first, then transfer for the later 2 years.

> cheaper!!! $30/unit vs $500+/unit

> easier going with more support for first timer/reentry students

> gives you time to think it over and decide on your major (this will be what you will do for the rest of your life, so it's better to have some time to think about it before fully devoted to it)

> After the 2 years in a comm.college, acceptance to a 4 year uni will be easier (since they evaluate the applications of a transfer student separately form a new freshman who's right out of HS) They'll evaluate your application with more slack... (and less competitions)

It doesn't matter how many schools you apply to... if your grade's and transcripts are strong, then you don't have to worry. If not, then you better apply for more....

good luck

My high school told us to have about six school choices: two safeties (schools we'd probably get into based on our GPAs and SAT scores), two good matches (schools that we had a good chance of getting into, but that there was a chance we wouldn't get into), and two reaches (schools we had a small chance of getting into--all Ivies go in this category).

As for the essay, just write--don't think about what the school wants you to say, because that makes your essay like 3/4 of the other essays. Be yourself, and try to tell them who you are, because it will make you more memorable.

relax, listen up, 100% gramar, punctuation and use a thesaurus to make small words bigger. but keep it to the point, remember those people read around 200 essays a day, how to make yours stand out? by sounding mature, in the know, and it never hurts to keep it an easy read(interesting)
