Applying for a college can seem easy or difficult depending on the person, but when it gets to the admissions office the fun is only beginning. Follow these tips to help streamline your application process and make it easier for those working in the office.

1. Write Clearly and Print Neatly in Ink

We don't know how to read hieroglyphics and you probably don't either. If you can't do it neatly, type it or have someone help you. You can do it!

2. Give as much information that you can provide

This saves us from having to bother you with texts and phone calls to get the information that was asked for on the application. Also, it never hurts to send all of your transcripts and scores when you first apply.

3. Read all the questions or sections, make sure you understand what it is asking

Your county is not the USA and I am also pretty sure that your name is not your religious preference.

4. Last, First, Middle

Write your name how it asks and separate it by commas. It gets really hard to try to figure out what your name actually is and it gets confusing.

5. Have an adult email

Tuittyfruittyprincess@email.com is not the best idea for an application. Try something simple with your initials or simply your last name.

6. Please select your gender

I understand that it's more complicated now, but this is helpful to have so we know which basketball team you would want to play on. We can't assume anything.

7. Talk to your Admissions Counselor

These people have this job for a reason, utilize it! They can answer all sorts of questions you may have and this can really help them get you through the application process faster. Good Luck!
