Pay Attention to Details With College Applications

Tis the season for College applications. It is time to pay attention to details. Every school has deadlines--for completed applications with recommendations, test scores and essays. Don't wait until the last minute to ask for recommendations. Don't wait for the last minute to tell your college advisor you need a transcript sent to a particular school. Make sure when you write an essay about how much you love the University of Pennsylvania and that you are a big fan of its founder William Penn--only to find out later that UPenn was founded by Benjamin Franklin!!!!!! Get your facts straight. Laziness with the old word processor will get you in trouble with admissions departments.
