Ruby’s Answer

I feel in all honesty that the college application process can be very daunting. There is alot of information swirling around and that can be overwhelming for anyone. The best advice I can provide would be to stay focused on the task for YOU. It's easy to get caught up with what's happening with others. Stay geared and dedicated to your outcome and be gentle on yourself. Good luck!

Ruby recommends the following next steps:

Get 2nd opinion on your essay topic(s)
Be mindful of deadlines
Dedicate plenty of time to research schools
Pick 5 schools and narrow the list

<span style="background-color: transparent;">Collegeboard.org is a great resource for this! I poured through the pages of universities all over the U.S. when I was a senior in high school. Collegeboard was my go-to site! They put all of the information in one place and it is very easy to use. They even have various filters you can apply to see only colleges that have programs you are interested. To determine academic rigor, look at the admissions requirements, G.P.A. of past admitted applicants, SAT/ACT scores, class rank etc. This will give you an idea of what scores and grades you need to be accepted. However, don't be discouraged your application will be reviewed based on the full picture! College-board will help you get an idea of what is most important to the specific school you are applying to.</span>
