My best advice for a high school junior or senior preparing to apply to college:
Get to know your admissions counselor. They want to see you succeed and are there to help. Also, don’t forget to apply for outside scholarships. There are many companies and groups who are willing to give scholarships for qualified candidates. Take the time to do your research and apply for these opportunities. It could save you thousands of dollars in the end.
