Once you answer these questions, you can put together a profile of the school that you are looking for. Try to remember that this decision is yours and directly effects your life. Do not let others pressure you into schools that you know you could not stand. After all, you are going to spend 4 years at this place, not them. Your happiness is the number one concern.
Applications When filling out applications to college, also remember to be as honest as possible.
There is no need to stretch your experiences thin and present yourself as an over-achiever. A smart admissions officer will be able to see right through an application without honesty. In my experience, Admissions officers actually prefer students who are straightforward and down to earth. They want real people with real, honest ideas. Second, you may feel like you want to be extra conservative when writing applications, but I would consider going out on a limb and experimenting with ideas you may have.
