The first page, word for word. 4 printable pages in total.
Part 1: Start here
Applying to college in the United States has a lot of small pieces: a list of schools, test scores (sometimes), recommendation letters, essays, forms, money forms and a handful of dates that cannot move. None of the pieces is hard on its own. The trouble is that they arrive at the same time, in the fall of senior year, on top of a full class schedule.
This product spreads them out. It is a set of printable pages and short written guides for juniors and seniors, and for a parent or guardian who wants to help without taking over.
What is in here
- Part 1 (this part): how to use the planner, a 30-minute start, and a filled-in example.
- Part 2: building your school list and a deadline map, with a plain explanation of the application types (Early Decision, Early Action, Regular Decision, rolling).
- Part 3: a month-by-month table from the spring of junior year to the spring of senior year, with a checkbox for each task.
- Part 4: essay planning (how to find a topic and plan it, without anyone writing it for you), recommendations, a school-by-school tracker and a "behind schedule" restart page.
What is in each part
