If you're feeling overwhelmed by deadlines and confused about the ever-changing college application process, you’re in the right place.

The college application process has changed a lot over the years. It seems like schools are harder to get into than ever before. Just the mere mention of college applications can invoke fear in students and parents.

  • How many AP classes should you take?

  • Is it better to get an A in an on-level class or challenge yourself and possibly get a lower grade in an AP class?

  • How should you spend your free time? What activities should you pursue?

  • What do test-optional and test-flexible mean? How does it affect your application?

  • How do you build a college list that is right for you?
