1. Research various schools. The school you had in mind when you were five might not meet your needs. I suggest you make an excel chart, and take things into consideration for I.e classroom size, retention rate, etc.
2. Apply for scholarships!! Don’t let money stop you from achieving your dreams.
3. Request letters of recommendation and transcripts in advance, be on top of everything.
4. Contact schools, everything you read online is not always true. Make sure you visit the schools you have in mind to make sure that’s really where you want to be.
5. Know your deadlines!! Deadlines are super important. There’s no such thing as to early.
