<p>Hi everyone!
I am going to be a senior in the fall, and naturally I'm getting antsy about the upcoming frenzy of college applications. I want to get started on my essays for the applications to get a lot of this out of the way. I know I can get my common-app essay totally finished, but what else can I really do? Also, does anyone have helpful resources for the application process? </p>
<p>Including (but not limited to):
- Old applications
- Book recommendations such as "Get It Together for College" (made by the collegeboard)
- Any important dates in the application process
- General advice for time management and staying in control of applications
- A list of things to complete before both school and the application process begin in the fall</p>
<p>Also, I know that the common-app does not open until the fall, but are there any available applications out right now for public universities?</p>
<p>Thanks! </p>
