Yeah it is tough, but the sooner you start the process the less stressful it will be. The most difficult part is just writing the essays and getting the recommendations, but I am sure you are a good student so that shouldn't be too hard :wink:

Exaaaactly... It's really not a lot different than high school except college is all hyped up to you while your in high school. You will look back at your freshman year of college like you will look back at your freshman year of high school. You will think "why was I so worried over nothing?".

if it helps any, i just visited a college, and the dean of admissions came to speak. he said that the applications that really get the most attention are the ones that stand out the most. he gave some examples of what he meant, like one year an essay was: you're on a stranded island and a crate washes up, what 5 things are in it? so one kid sends the essay in a crate. creative things like that will help you get in.

but don't worry too much, i'm sure you'll get in anywhere holly! you're smart, and most importantly, determined, which is all you need!

lol... i wish i was creative like that! i heard one year someone sent a beautifully decorated shoe to NYU who was applying for their fashion program and it had a note on it "now that i have one shoe in the door, i'd like to get the other one in".

lol that 's funny, becuase another story that the dean told us was that someone made a mold of their foot and wrote their entire essay on it, with an attached note: "i just wanted to get my foot in the door".

that's the college (not nyu, the one i visited, SUNY Geneseo) i want to get in to, so i figured that since i'm good at Tatting, i'd make a doily or something like that for them in the school colors. Just think of some of your talents, and work with it. Like, if you are good at song writing, write a song about how much you want to get in to that college, record it, and send it with your application. don't worry, i'm sure you'll think of something!

i'll think about what i can do...

ooo... lol, and creative essays sometimes can help!
i heard of this person who wrote a whole essay about how she had eaten mexican and chinese food before going on a roller coaster and it was a battle about which one would be thrown up first... lol. and this person got in
