The Common Application

My life for the next 90 days. 

Good luck, my friends! The struggle is real and like a required essay has a limited word count.

Time to Get It In! - College Tours

Wellesley College Admission Office, April 2014

Of course my mom started talking about college tours a year ago. This past April we visited four schools in the northeast and one in Ohio during spring break. It was crazy, it was exhausting. I really got a chance to experience first hand what college life is like: seminar classes, dormitory living, urban vs. small town or rural setting, etc. I became painfully aware of the difference between 2,000 students on a single-sex campus and 20,000 co-eds on a campus in the middle of a city.

This list of College Fly-In programs are a good resource if you're planning to squeeze in some college visits this fall before you start working on those admission applications. Here are a few programs that (some offer travel assistance) are fantastic opportunities for multi-cultural students.
