Читать книгу America's Best Colleges for B Students - Tamra B. Orr - Страница 19

Many students get totally caught up in the college admissions frenzy without actually realizing that there are more than 4,000 colleges in the United States that have to stay open, so they are looking for students. In other words, you have a much better chance of getting in than you think.

Some advice for you:

 Remember that it is not what college you get into but what you do while you are there that matters the most.

 Even if you think you cannot get into a college, apply anyway.

 Make sure to apply to colleges other than just your favorite one. Even if you consider them a back-up plan, take the time to make a list and apply.

 Be true to yourself about what you want out of a college experience. If you really do not want one that is academically rigorous, that’s totally fine. Just be up front about it.

 If one certain college is your dream but you don’t fit the academic requirements, apply anyway. If you stand out in any way at all, you just may make it in after all.
