Starting the college application process can feel overwhelming, but with the right organization and resources, you can help your child navigate it smoothly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you and your child stay on track and prepared.

1. Research College Application Requirements

Begin by having your child look up the application requirements for each of their chosen colleges. Most colleges list their application guidelines on their website. It’s important to check whether the college accepts the Common Application, Coalition Application, or Universal Application, as these shared platforms can save time and effort by allowing your child to apply to multiple schools at once.

2. Organize the Application Materials

Help your child stay organized throughout the application process. Create a dedicated folder for each college, where you can store all the required materials for that application. This will include things like the application form, transcripts, and letters of recommendation. Keeping everything in one place will ensure nothing is missed.

3. Create an Application Calendar

A well-organized college application timeline is key. Create a calendar that highlights all application deadlines and important dates, such as interview schedules or financial aid submission deadlines. Staying ahead of the game will help avoid last-minute stress.
