COLUMNS: Stop & Smell The Roses – College Application Advice

By Morgan Taylor – Editor-In-Chief

This month, Advocate Editor-In-Chief Morgan Taylor asked seniors from Law to give some advice to the juniors about the college application process. Here is what they had to say:

Mike Loschiavo: “It is a long process, but I would say set a day and get it done. If you keep waiting, the work piles up, just get it done.”

Bella Ray: “Follow the list of the things you have to do per each month, it really helps. You won’t be crammed.”

Hailey Johnson: “Apply everywhere you can, go to college visits, do it all.”

Liv Karmas: “Be proactive, don’t wait for your guidance counselor.”

Tasbita Ahmed: “Don’t procrastinate, you will regret it.”

Simon Keating: “Even if you don’t think you can get into a certain school, it is still worth it to apply there.”

Meghan Loftus: “Don’t be afraid to ask for help.”

Angie Wargo: “Get started before your guidance counselors tell you to, they will push you along but not do it for you.”

Ali Gordon: “Start the process over the summer.”

Livi Kowalski: “Start it early because its stressful if you leave it for last minute.”

Rohin Manohar: “Try to do all your testing before school starts senior year. Utilize College and Career and Ms. Sylvia. She’s awesome.”

Connor DiMuro: “Don’t wait until the last minute.”

Skylar Sosa: “Start it early and seek help, don’t do it all by yourself.”

Eryn Mower: “Don’t procrastinate, write your college essay your junior year so that during senior year you can spend your time editing.”

Kylee Troy: “Don’t wait until the last minute and fill out the Common App with your parents.”

Maddie Herb: “Don’t procrastinate about it and get it done as soon as possible.”

Jon Vitale: “Start early. Set a period of time daily slotted for it because you don’t realize how important it is until the deadline comes.”

Sam Papcun: “Don’t wait until summer to start touring schools, it gets very stressful.”
