The college admissions process can be overwhelming, and there are many aspects that applicants may not understand or may have questions about. By asking questions, applicants can gain clarity and confidence before, during, and at the end of the process. This way, they can make informed decisions about which schools to apply to and what materials to submit.

Keep track of any deadlines or additional materials that may be required. After completing and submitting their applications, students and applicants should feel free to follow up with the colleges and programs to which they have applied (unless explicitly directed otherwise). This way, they can ensure that every school they have applied to has received exactly what it specifies it needs.
