      you will be fine if you write down all the tasks and steps must be done for application and get into college. Even if you dont go into college you wanted, dont blame yourself it's just situation that you cant rlly control also you might get into college that suit you well youll be surprised by how much you dont know before going into college until you actually get in.

      Not just admissions. You have to pay for sending your tests scores and taking the damn tests that are REQUIRED to apply. Where I live taking ONE test is $94. The whole process of taking tests and applying costs like $1,000+. The US college application system is a dumpster fire of stupidity.

    • @enigma4526
      @enigma4526 Před 5 lety +51

      The worst thing about the US, is that to go to university is bloody expensive . In the UK, we do pay for applications but under UCAS. You are limited to five choices and it costs £24 pounds with schools and £30 independently. Also, if you’re apply to oxbridge you pay for admissions or you get them for free, it depends on if the school will pay for you.

    R.I.P... I know the pain of this as I have applied to 6-7 colleges..... but a goodd tip for people who are worried about paying for all this stuff.
    1.) Ask your guidance counselor for a fee waiver (this will reduce or remove the application fee)
    2.) Apply early and make sure that you are not applying with early decision (early decision usually means that if you are accepted into that school you will only go to that school and decline other offers)
    3.) Make sure you have completed things your state requires (NC requires your RDS)
    4.) The ACT and the SAT have waivers so you don't have to pay for taking these test
    5.) Try to take the ACT or SAT twice that way you can super score your results (super score means that some colleges will take only the best scores from 2 or more tests)
    6.) Know who you are going to ask recommendations from. (ASK THEM IN Person) teachers don't like getting an email about this.
    7.) Look for scholarships early and work with your guidance counselor because for some scholarships you have to be nominated.
    8.) Make a resume (normal or educational) colleges ask for this
    Thanks all I can think of and I hope it helps! Things will be fine just don't procrastinate and if you have questions ask a teacher or idk ask here maybe someone will know....

      Another tip is that after you take the SAT, there's a time period before you get your results that you can submit it to 4 colleges for free. The downside is that you won't know the score until after they've sent. But I'm gonna save a lot of money bc I sent a score to almost every school I'm applying to after taking it twice

      @grace61235 Před 5 lety +62

      This is just my guess but I think there are some things you can find out by one's favorite snack. If their snack is traditional to their culture (red bean ice vs. chips) it probably means their culture is very important to them. If it's something healthy, it shows the person is probably better at self-control. If it's a reference to a popular food at the college, it can show interest. There are a couple other things too, but you get what I mean.

The sheer stress radiating off me right now is incredible, it’s currently July 31st and I’m almost done getting my college shit done just now *and college starts April 31st* needless to say just like everything else in my life... I did this shit last second and caused myself far more pain and stress than was needed

I got so used to applying to colleges that after I was done applying to them, I literally did not know what to do with my free time. You got this, and I hope you get into all of the colleges you applied to!

    It's interesting to see how American college applications come through a streamlined website similar to the UK under UCAS while my country, Malaysia, doesn't use this system unless we're applying to public universities. Private universities are generally under our own responsibility so we just directly apply to them w/o needing to submit so much stuff through a website. There's a small application fee to pay where most are refundable while some are non-refundable but definitely don't need to pay extra for sending test scores, extra fees etc.

    Applying for university in Finland:
    1. Fill an online application with your information and high school/secondary school diplomas. You already have to know what you want to study, meaning you apply for a certain line of studies/major. This means that each university has a quota/maximum for each major. You realize that you might not make that quota.
    2. Study for the entrance exam, AKA read a fuck ton of different texts, even whole books.
    3. Go and do the entrance exam and never want to speak about it again
    4. Wait for results in agony. This will either make or break your summer. (Been there done that)
    5. Booom.
    Well, at least that is how it went for me. And also to note that that's how it goes if you aim for a "non-artistic" studies, and some places even have interviews as well, but most don't.
