We know that starting college applications can be overwhelming and nerve-wrecking! The number one tip is to stay organized. Use checklists to track your to-do list so that you don't overlook anything or miss important deadlines! Xello is your best-friend throughout this process and has a built-in checklist that you can set up and track.
If you are applying to college, we encourage you to apply to at least three colleges/universities, that way, you have back-up offers.
There are several ways to apply, depending on your college choices. If you are unsure, contact your career counselor. We are here to help!
ApplyTexas: If you are mainly applying to Texas colleges, this site is recommended.
CommonApp: If you are applying to many colleges outside of Texas, this site is recommended (over 1,000 colleges participate).
Alternatively, many colleges have their own direct-application on their website. Gallaudet University, for example, does not participate in the CommonApp, so you will need to apply directly on their website.
