College Applications

Completing college applications can be a daunting task.  The earlier  a student starts this process the better.  Summer is a great time to start!  To relieve stress a great deal can be accomplished in the summer before the applications come online in September.  Organization of the material for sections on the application as well as brainstorming essay topics and looking at examples can be completed early.  The actual writing of many essays can be accomplished if not at least started in the summer.  When school starts in the fall, activities and homework can take all of a student's time; having the information ready and essays started before applications are due can help make the semester more bearable for the student and his or her family.
