- If
information, brochures and STUFF are already in stacks all over your
life, get a box. Put
all the college stuff in the box EXCEPT THE APPLICATIONS THEMSELVES
– keep those separate and safe and NEAT in their own file in a
place you can find later.

- Put
it in the box ALPHABETICALLY.

When
you are ready to work at this,
Choose
no more than FIVE. Nobody
needs more than five choices. Be
certain one of the five is an insurance school – the one you are
absolutely positive you can get into – and wouldn’t mind
attending if Great Aunt Sally has to move into your home and
you’re needed to help while she recuperates from the yak attack
she suffered while being stranded in the Himalayas for six
years…and your college fund is being used for her medical bills.
[Hint: that’ll be UTA for most of you.]
Even
if you are positive there is only one college in the world you could
bear to attend, apply to five. You might change
your mind. It happens.
