Going through the logs tonight, I noticed a search for Carlos Albizu University that found its way to the Florida College Guide website. Wondering what school this was, I searched on the FCG site and found it under the University section. I then followed the link to the Carlos Albizu home page and to my amazement, the print was so small, I could not even make out the language it was published in. So, if anyone from Carlos Albizu University is reading…fix your website. I wanted to write something about it here, but your webisite is terrible.

The most stressful times for prospective college students is clearly during the college admission application process. It is funny that this is when most students snap under the pressure. Logically, students would feel the most pressure when they are taking classes in high school, as a student’s GPA is probably the biggest determining factor when gaining acceptance to a college. So, the moral of the story is, work hard during high school while having fun. Prepare for the SAT and ACT tests, if you will take any. And, write a great essay that only you would write for your college applications. Then sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of your senior year in high school.

Of course, many of you that are reading this, are probably saying, “I already am in my senior year!” Well, for those of you in your junior or senior years of high school you can still do well in your classes, and for many of you, this will still determine whether or not you gain admittance to that Florida school of your dreams. Prepare for the SAT with a good book or prep class and get some college essay help if you need to. Good luck.
