I appreciate this post. As a first gen, slightly older student trying to navigate this process its been incredibly frustrating at times. UC applications were pretty straightforward (thank goodness) but the rest has been a learning experience. Having to send official high school transcripts, get deans reports, acquire letters of recommendation - which has been like attempting to herd cats, all these different due dates, 9 million essays, counselors that either aren’t familiar with how this works or don’t provide the correct information, paying for the stupid ACT test and stupid CSS profile out of pocket and on the list goes. :neutral:
Good luck to you and hope you have plenty of good news to share in your next update!
