Everyone in this video, I'm going to be giving you some tips and tricks for the college application process and what I did and what worked for me. When I applied to college the summer before my senior year of high school, I toward Tang colleges. I just wanted to see like, what was out there, like get a chance like view. Hi. So for all the colleges I apply, do they did have early action except for one, which was rolling admissions So early action means you can apply early and you'll get in early before, kind of like everybody else. If you don't do the early action deadline, then you can still apply, like with everybody else. Like you'll get in like, around the same time. I was a little eager and wanted to get in early everywhere. Really option you do your application, your essays, everything. Um, I think the deadline was like around like October November. So you really have to get your act together and be ableto balance all of that in high school, and then you'll get in by January. The latest regular deadlines usually run from, like, January February. Like by then, if you apply, you'll probably hear back like April. So I recommend doing early action for as many colleges as you can. It just takes that pressure off in high school just knowing, like all your stuff is done. If you applied everywhere and like you can focus on your high school work. If you wanna apply to more schools and looking more schools, you'll have more time because you're not worrying about applications or writing an essay or anything. You know for Bridgewater in particular, I know that they let you use the common out, which is where most schools like what you like. Put all your stuff on files like you can apply to many schools, but they also have their own application, like they'll ask you different questions than the common off website would last gonna write. Make sure if you do, go on a tour, Tim Bridgewater and you make an email account that emails what you're gonna use to apply to college there if you choose to do so. Choosing a college was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. I've got into six schools, and I easily was able to knock out a few come by price. As I said in the earlier video, the cost of emissions was definitely a huge factor in my decision making for picking colleges. One of them was a very small private school in Newton. One of them was a bigger private school in North Andover, very expensive and the other one was French water. So I was able to knock out the small private school because I kind of wanted a bigger campus with more people, and I was able to knock out the bigger private school because it was very expensive. They didn't really do much for me, and I didn't feel welcome, honestly, but Bridgewater was very accommodating. I was really excited to go to a state school in Get Away from home if you ever have any questions about college, honestly, I would ask people, you know, in older grades if you know someone older that went to Bridgewater and you want to go there like, hey, like Ping I visit sometime, like, see what it's about. You give me a tour, Maybe Lenny, talk to me about majors or something. When I came here on campus, not many people from my town go here just because it is a little bit out of the way. There were a few people that do, and it really helped me to see them on campus. Now I've, um I see the three people from my high school that chose to go here, and I've, like, reach up to them. If you have any questions, please don't be afraid to talk to me. She was like, Hi. Like I'm going to this event. I don't know where the building is, and I'm like, Well, I'm going to that event, too. I'm gonna go to your door and walking to it easy is that I don't mind helping you out.
