    I especially love the essay advice portion! It's so true that you need to show an experience, and ask that "so what" question to get your message across to the admissions' officers.

    22 year old teacher here. I gotta say my favorite part is prepping high schoolers for college because if it’s not over complicated, or made to seem you have to be valedictorian to get in, it’s much less stressful and they feel more confident going into the next part of their life!

      Wish I had you as a teacher. I'm thinking these practices are not just for school. I've overwhelmed my mind with stuff lately that has me in counseling. I don't do homework because I've been diagnosed as a severe case of PTSD from detachment. My brother complained I don't listen and my wife left me after 32 years of being my best friend but my brother has taken his life and I'm alone now. I don't know how to do the homework to deal with this in group

    I got lucky with the essay. One of my Humanities teachers in Senior year was my American Lit teacher in sophomore year, and is a former admissions counselor. I wrote a chessay. The first edition, she tore apart within minutes. The second one, took me a while to do. I could not do anything with it for nearly two months because of the classic writer's block. Then I finished it, and my teacher quickly approved it. That was the only essay I had to write.

    Thank you! I’ve started applying last month and realized how incredibly difficult it is to figure all this out. Each school is so different! So far I’ve applied to 2/7 schools, and my counselor is already sick of sending my transcript. Because my dual enrollment college classes are taken throughout 3 different colleges, I have to pay another $45 in fees just to send my transcripts to ONE college (not including the ~$50 application fee). Any tips to reduce these fees? I can’t afford to keep applying as of now, as I won’t get paid until next month :(
