Top 3 Ways to Get College Information
Throughout the college application process, you are going to have many questions and you will need to know how to get them answered.
Most high school students don’t use Twitter, but you should. Not only is it the quickest way to get a response from a college during college application time, but colleges also use it to push out up-to-date information including when decisions will be released. So, if you haven’t already followed all of the admissions departments of the schools you are interested in, you should go do that right now. Some are even very amusing, here is one of my favorites:

Blogs
Blogs are not only a great source of information; they can also be a lighthearted dose of reality. You can find tips and tricks or checklists to help you with just about anything you think about as it relates to college. Here is one of my favorites:

School Website
College websites are not the easiest things to navigate, but sometimes, you need to dig through them to find the information you need. If you are interested in a specific program or major, look at the curriculum, explore the opportunities and spend time getting to understand the pros and cons of what that school has to offer. Not only will it help you determine if the school is a good fit for you, but it will also help you if you need to write a “Why Major” or “Why this School” essay as part of the application process.
