Applying for College

Thanks to Roman May

We decided that we needed to get Bartlett satellite internet service when our oldest child turned seventeen. After our first junior parent/teacher conference, we were surprised to learn that to apply to colleges, everything would have to be done on the internet. There are really no more paper and pen college applications. You have to create an account through the college board to manage what colleges you are applying to. All of your application fees must also be submitted on-line using a credit card. You also use the websites to upload your transcripts from high school and to type and submit college essays. When my husband and I were applying to college, they sent your SAT score, your school sent your transcripts, and you mailed a check for the application fee. I did not seem like it was too difficult back then, but I also applying to a smaller number of schools than our oldest is applying to today. We are keeping our fingers crossed and can now check our e-mail at home to see if she got accepted to the places that she applied. I am hoping that she doesn’t move too far away!
