    • Intended Major:  If you have a major, great!  If not, do not leave this blank.  Indicate undecided or undeclared.  Some schools will have their own special designation, such as general studies.

    • Interviews are generally not a required part of the application process. However, if you are offered an opportunity to do an interview with a college, take it. Interviews can be offered on campus (during a visit) or locally by an admissions representative or alumnus in our area.
    • Remember that participation in blogs, chat rooms, forums and social media (such as Instagram, Facebook, X, and SnapChat) are never truly private.  Inappropriate content may come back to haunt you.
