Words of Wisdom:

Put together a packet of info about yourself and distribute it to those who are writing letters of recommendation for you. This will help them write the best letters they can.
Start saving your money. Keep in mind the application, transcript, and testing fees as well as postage you will encounter during the application process. Don't let these costs hinder your choices.
