Hi everyone! My name is Othanya Garcia and I’m excited to share my college application process with all of you. I hope my blogs may be helpful (they’re actually good for me to reflect on what I’ve accomplished and what I need to work on). My blogs will talk about essays, SATs, dates for starting on applications, and STRESS! The latter never goes away, just kidding it will, soon. Currently, I’m college app free and I finished my CSS Profile application. The Profile is a financial aid application where colleges that require it can specifically see your parents’ income and household situations. Some schools want them as early as December or as late as March. It’s good to begin early so their grant money won’t go down for you! Well bye, you’ll be reading from me soon. J
