Applying for Universities (Since "college" is a misnomer and "University" is a bunch of "colleges" therefore it should be applying to "University")

Steps to applying for Universities (and colleges)
1. Be a pain in the neck. In a good way though. Let everybody know you want to go to a university. Find people that can help you gently squeeze all the good advice you can get from them.
2. Push yourself; seriously, if you know what you want to do, then freaking sign up for those classes and make the most of them. Universities like persistence. Sometimes you can get college credit for classes you take during highschool; take advantage of them.
3. Explore universities; just because the university has the right major doesn't mean that it's right for you. Go the campus, talk to students, stay overnight or something. Don't let freshman orientation be your first day on campus grounds.
4. Apply to get in to the university. That's a given.
5. Apply for scholarships; Get dat cash. It's out there, and if you don't get it then some other, faster kid will. Which means APPLY EARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
