Dear all Freshman and almost freshman watching this video, Watch this video every single day, and LISTEN. I'm a senior, and for the longest I was set on a college I don't want to go to anymore. Since I didn't even consider any other colleges, I am now scrambling to figure out what the hell I'm doing with my life! On top of that, I missed the deadlines to colleges I was really interested in. DON'T BE LIKE ME
You have good points, but you forgot THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT. You want to go to a school that offers your desired major. If you're undecided or undeclared, you'll want to make sure they have several majors that interest you. It's also good to know how easy it is to transfer majors, what classes are offered for them, and how long most people take to graduate - It can be hard to get classes at some schools, preventing timely graduation.
Thank you so much for doing this series I can't even tell you how thankful I am since I'm a senior this year and I've just been stressing so much about applying to college and what not so these videos are super helpful :)
On the college board website it really helps you! You sign up and it helps you figure out what school is best for you! You filter out things like big or small school things like that. It's really nice.
Please upload more videos with college advice, like what to wear, how to study, and how to do your hair and make-up quickly for school and school parties?
University of illinois is in the top 20 prestigious colleges and its a really huge party school the party scene is crazy awesome but its still a really nice school look it up
Don't make the mistake I did. Start on your scholarships over the summer of your junior year. You'll procrastinate like crazy senior year because of the huge amount of stress that year. You'll need to find colleges, start on application essays, file for financial aid, and all that stuff. There's so much to do that you put off on scholarships. By the time you're done with everything, most good scholarships have their deadlines over with.
Well you are about to be a Senior next year, and I will tell you, that the best thing to do during the summer is to start reaching what colleges you want to apply to in your senior year. Also, try to visit colleges you are interested during the summer.
super helpful thanks! im already getting stressed, cuz im starting my senior year next week and i havent started the whole college search and essay thing :( hope i find a school i love like you have!
I love these College videos, I'm going into my senior year so these are super helpful(: I'm from Minnesota too and my older brother just graduated in 2012 and he goes to Nebraska!
These were such good tips! I'm going into my second year of college like you and definitely wasn't that efficient when I was applying to colleges. For me it was kinda a really annoying processes with all the paper work.
i went to a small high school but i love the big city life being from detroit and raised in michigan thinking about michigan so go big ten but i also have other back up plans
I'm an upcoming senior so this helps me a ton thank you! I would definitely consider you like an older sister helping me out with this process since my actual older sister and parents aren't any help at all! lol.. I'd love to see a video about sororities btw !
Con't: u r initiated. Every org will have study and grade expectations, volunteer/leadership opportunities. And remember, when u join, u join for life! There are alumnae opportunities after graduation! :) I currently advise a chapter of my organization and absolutely love it! :)
I'm going into my senior year of high school and this is really helpful because I never really thought about colleges until just recently sadly so I feel a bit clueless haha. Thanks for the video! :)
People use the terms interchangeably, but typically a college is a smaller entity focused on one large area of study (e.g. college of fine arts, college of communications,) whereas a university is multiple colleges. Within a college, there are different schools, so within the college of fine arts, there is a school of theatre, a school of dance, etc.
I'm doing a few sorority videos for sure (what to expect, what to wear during rush, etc)! I do just want to say up front that sororities are NOT at all like they are depicted in the movies & tv! I feel like for the most part, they give greek life a bad connotation, and it's unfortunate that it may scare people away because they are really not like that! They're about supporting each other through anything & ah it's just amazing :)
Sororities: Every school does formal recruitment. For the school u attend, check out the Greek Life portion of their website and familiarize urself w each org. Find out when to sign up and if ur gpa is high enough. Go through w an open mind for each irg & don't listen to preconceived notions about any of them or Greek Life. Ask questions and be prepared to talk to several women each day. If you choose to join & it isn't ur top choice, give it a shot. If u decide later on to withdraw do it b4
It seems like the university progress in the US is very different to Australia. In my state, you apply to all universities online before doing the final exams and then you get an ATAR. From there you either get rejected or accepted. It's all based on academic scores. :)
I'm from Minnesota too!!! I think I wanna go near the cities. I've always loved the Twin Cities. It seems like every school I look at has a fatal flaw though
can you please talk about how you prepared for the SAT/ACT like what books, study schedule, just things like that...i know it is really specific but it would be so so so helpful!
Financial aid is SO confusing! Your best bet is to just visit the office of the college you are planning on attending. Pop in and just explain what you just said. They are usually very helpful in finding the perfect balance of grants, scholarships, and loans you can afford. I hope this helps :) Good luck!
My name is Chris. I am 28 years old. I have a GED. I live in New York. I want to attend college after a long internal debate. The debate included where I want to go and what courses I want to take. The location I want is the west coast (United States), I am looking in or around the San Francisco Bay Area. The courses of interest are business and technology related studies. More directly, relating to computer science. One of the reason I want the bay area, is because I could try and get intern jobs relating to my field there easier, and perhaps get into working with a company like Google (or in related field) with Co-Op education. If my understanding of Co-Op education is right I could basically get a job while in school. Which is another major thing I am going to need, is work while in school. I will also need dorm (hopefully), and basically my handheld by the institution because I am pretty poor. I told you all that to give you an understanding of my situation and so help better answer my next two questions. First, I was wondering if there are folks that help people with the application process? Kinda like a coach or counselor? Second, I am looking for advice. Is the bay area a good place to go? Are there better places. I have questions regarding GED and other test things. How do they mix and all. But I thought I would ask the folk as that so called school. PLEASE HELP. Thanks.
My advice is that it's very important to know that colleges don't just look at academics when admitting students. Of course they are a main priority, however admissions officers want to see that you are well-rounded and have other dimensions, such as extra-curricular involvement & leadership, to you besides a high GPA.
Thank you so much caitlin! I will be applying to schools this coming school year so this was very helpful. Could you do a Greek life advice series too ? :)
Biggest tip I can give is to make sure you fill out your FAFSA. You will need your parents' tax information (they can fill it out for you if they don't want to share their income with you.) Even if you don't think you'll get any federal loans or grants, the FAFSA is often used as eligibility for other institutional grants and scholarships, even those that are merit based.
If you can't figure out a major, don't sweat it. Just go into college as an undecided major and take some class that you think might interest you. I'm sure it will help you narrow it down. Plus, remember that you're not locked into a major once you choose one; you can always change it. :)
Going into my junior year of high school ! Hippy 2 more years , thanks for the advice ill probably start look at colleges in the spring time of next year ! :)
Thank you so much I'm going to highschool next year so that mean I have 4 years to decide were to go. Most it seems like a lot of days to choose but not to early to start. Wish me luck.
Actually, 9th grade is the year to start thinking about college. I have some advice that I wish people told me before, and now I've just graduated two weeks ago and I regret not knowing this. IT'S A LOT TO READ, but I think it is good advice you should focus on. For 9th grade, try focusing on getting high grades so that you can get into honors classes, or maybe even AP classes on your 10th grade year. AP classes gives you College credit so that you can be ahead when you get to college. Also, try to get the most amount of extracurricular as you can possibly get. The next couple of years will be busy and you might not have as much time for extracurriculars as you have at this moment. For 10th grade, try to defiantly focus on having high grades so that you can 100% get into Honors and or AP classes for the 11th grade year. Also try to apply for scholarships more during this year. Lastly enjoy the 10th grade year. It is going to be the funnest year of your four years of high school and you will need it. Make sure you study for your PSAT's (Predatory Standardized Exam). For the 11th grade year... IT WILL BE THE MOST DIFFICULT YEAR. I don't want to scare you for 11th grade, but it is super hard. For this year, try to make sure your grades are relatively the same as your grades in 9th and 10th grade. It is a really hard year and you WILL have emotional outbreaks if you go to a hard high school. It is good to be in Advanced level classes because even though they make your already hard 11th grade year harder, it will look good in your high school transcript to colleges. This year is also the year to really study for the SAT's or ACT's (these are test that colleges look at when they consider admitting you to their college) Most good colleges focus on these. Lastly, spend your 11th grade year, and summer btwn 11th and 12th grade visiting and researching colleges you are interested in attending. When researching the colleges you want to go to, try bigfuture.collegeboard.org/college-search and cappex.com They are great college search sites. Lastly, for 12th grade, Make sure you look into all the colleges you want to apply to. Find their application deadlines, Application requirements, their majors etc. Just go deep and research about the colleges. BEFRIEND YOUR COLLEGE COUNSELOR. Even if s/he is not a great person. They can make or break your college application process. Also, SAVE MONEY throughout the school year because living dorm is expensive. So try to save up some money to spend o things you need for the dorm like mattress pads, storage bin, period pads, new clothing etc. I know this is a lot of information, but it is really helpful. Don't think about so much that you get stressed. I suggest that you copy and paste this reply and try to save it. Trust me, all of this info is important. In general, if you are a good student, you will be fine. Also, even though high school is nothing but preparation for college, live in the moment. Enjoy yourself and make friends. Be open and try to be outside of your comfort zone, it will make your high school years fun. I just wanted to give you some advice. I hope you appreciate this because it literally to be 15 minutes to write this reply.
can you do a video on how to chooses a major! Or if we have to chooses a major before choosing a college!(: thanks this is my summer before my senior year and its stressing me out!!
Thank you!!!! I had a meltdown today because of the tuition for college. I was wondering if you could possibly do a video on financial aid & Greek life.
I'm now a sophomore in college and I only applied to three schools my senior year. I felt that three was enough because one was my dream school and two were safety schools but I also know people who applied to 12. It's really about how you feel, there's no right or wrong number. If you feel satisfied with the three schools you're applying to, then don't apply to any more! Hope this helps(:
Filia lee--No. They take women regardless of race or nationality. My chapter had women from 4 other countries and some who were from Hawai'i but were native Hawai'ian. :)
Could you do something on finding that balance of partying and studying, some of my older friends who are know in college said they had some trouble with this at first.
Start preparing for college your first year of high school. For example, making good grades, etc. Figuring out the schools you want to go to Junior year *especially during the summer of Junior year cuz once you're a senior you may procrastinate* , apply for scholarships too. Senior year, apply for colleges and stuff and hopefully you're straight. I'm a senior now and I'll tell you I'm kinda slacking off and just playing video games (starting to pay way more attention school now). I was thinking about college since I started high school, and still thinking now.
Did you join a sorority ??? Im a junior this year in highschool -& i REALLY want to know more about the greek life ! You're sooo helpful ! Im looking forward to all your college videos
Dear all Freshman and almost freshman watching this video,

DON'T BE LIKE ME
awww that is so sad 😩. how is it going now ?
I went to a big highschool, hated it, too many people, made me late for class. I'm going to a smaller college. Easier to concentrate
You have good points, but you forgot THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT. You want to go to a school that offers your desired major. If you're undecided or undeclared, you'll want to make sure they have several majors that interest you. It's also good to know how easy it is to transfer majors, what classes are offered for them, and how long most people take to graduate - It can be hard to get classes at some schools, preventing timely graduation.
I wonder why she didn't just go to the University of Minnesota

thanks for being an older sister! although i am a sophmore and know all these things you just made it more hopeful for me in that i can do it (:
Thank you so much caitlin! I will be applying to schools this coming school year so this was very helpful. Could you do a Greek life advice series too ? :)
Can you do a video on study tips/ how you decorated your dorm?
this may sound kinda superficial, but can you do a video about what to wear to class and every day student life.
Can you do a college advice video on making friends, study tips, rushing!
Awesome video! Could you make one on dating in college, sororities, parties, etc.?
Could you do one on the true college life? Like the good, the bad, and the ugly?
Biggest tip I can give is to make sure you fill out your FAFSA. You will need your parents' tax information (they can fill it out for you if they don't want to share their income with you.) Even if you don't think you'll get any federal loans or grants, the FAFSA is often used as eligibility for other institutional grants and scholarships, even those that are merit based.
Please make a video about being in a sorority and the rush process!
If you can't figure out a major, don't sweat it. Just go into college as an undecided major and take some class that you think might interest you. I'm sure it will help you narrow it down. Plus, remember that you're not locked into a major once you choose one; you can always change it. :)
Can u make a video on how you got into college? Like what extracurriculars you were involved in, etc...?
Can you do a video on the college essay? And writing the supplemental essays? I have no idea what to write about!

What grade do u think that people need to start thinking about college?
I'm thinking about college and I'm in 8th grade about to start highschool
You should start thinking about college when you get to your freshman year of High school, but any earlier is way better.
Start preparing for college your first year of high school. For example, making good grades, etc. Figuring out the schools you want to go to Junior year *especially during the summer of Junior year cuz once you're a senior you may procrastinate* , apply for scholarships too. Senior year, apply for colleges and stuff and hopefully you're straight. I'm a senior now and I'll tell you I'm kinda slacking off and just playing video games (starting to pay way more attention school now). I was thinking about college since I started high school, and still thinking now.
im in 8th too
Did you join a sorority ??? Im a junior this year in highschool -& i REALLY want to know more about the greek life ! You're sooo helpful ! Im looking forward to all your college videos
