The college application process is overrated and over stressed. It's really nothing special and you can knock out all of your applications in a couple hours if you're in the mood to write a couple short essays (some aren't even essays, some just ask for a paragraph) and you have your parent's credit card sitting next to you
Also, depending on where you live, you can use the same application/essay for multiple schools
For instance, I only wrote two full essays during my college application process, and both of them were for ApplyTexas, which is an online college application that is used for every university in the state of Texas
HBU, Hofstra, and OU waived my essay and gave me a shortened application
Mizzou and Ole Miss didn't even require essays, Creighton and Oklahoma State required a paragraph
And then I wrote two essays on ApplyTexas and used those for like 6 schools |
