Advice for high school/transfer students: Relieve some of the pressure by starting your college search early. Gather information and visit particular colleges and universities during your sophomore and junior years; it will help narrow down the list of schools to apply to. While on campus, meet with an admissions counselor, faculty members, and students.  Also, be sure to try the food… you’ll need to eat it for four years! Lastly, remember that your admissions counselor is always willing to answer any questions you might have about academic programs, student life, and scholarships.
