Before submitting your application/essays, be sure they are completely filled out and accurate You may want to go over them a few times Have others like your parents look over the essays and applications as well Send in your applications and essays Make sure they look neat and are easy to read Wait to hear back from the college in which you applied While waiting for their response, be sure to continue looking into other colleges Continue to also fill out applications NEVER send just one application in because you might not get into that school Rules for Searching and Applying for College
- 12. + Advice for those searching for the right college for themselves Even if you are not completely sure just what you want to go to college for, you should still apply to colleges you are interested in. You can still go to college and at least get your core classes out of the way. Taking core classes will take up most of your first two years anyway so why wait when you can get those out of the way. They also have career counselors at most colleges that you could met with to help guide you to what you want to become. In addition, do not let others stop you from being what you want to be and going where you want to go. My mom told me many times that she did not think I could be a teacher. She told me she did not think I had the patience to deal with students who acted up and when I told her, I wanted to do special education her doubts grew more. Due to all this lack of support from my mom, I almost went to a completely different school and picked a completely different career. To be honest, I was never interested until I got college visits at school in a career. One thing I have learned though is to follow your heart and dreams. I realize I never would have been happy if I went to that other school and did a different major because it was not where my heart was. Do not let others influence your decisions. It is time to start thinking about you and putting yourself first. You have to do things for you not anybody else. Otherwise, if you go through this whole process trying to please everyone else you will end up being defeated. Look into different colleges. Take different college visit. Have a list of questions to ask. Take advantage of any opportunity in which you can explore the colleges. Apply to multiple colleges. Never only apply to one college. You may have your heart set on going to one certain college but there is always the chance that you will not get into that particular college. It is much better to have multiple college options than to have none at all. Be true to whom you are and what the desires of your heart are. College is a big deal. It is the next step in a better future. It is not something to be taking lightly. I assure you if you listen to your heart and follow your heart though you will make the right decision for your future. Sincerely, Misti D. Reynolds
- 13. + The Final Decision Misti’s end to her college search Section three
- 14. + Colleges I was accepted to Ball State IPFW International Business College IUPUI Purdue
- 15. + To Whom It May Concern: Ever since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. Being a teacher and making a difference in other student’s lives is my passion. I want to be a difference maker and a teacher. The only place that I can go to become that person is here at Ball State. The teaching program here at BSU is what I need to shape myself into the educator that I want to be. Being accepted into Ball State would mean the chance of a lifetime for me. It would mean that I have the chance to fulfill my dreams. Please help me to fulfill my dreams and become the person I want to be. I cannot do it without your school and the instructors at your wonderful university. Sincerely. Misti D. Reynolds
- 16. + THE BIG DECISION Dear Diary, As you know, I have been struggling with the decision on what college is best for me. I have been accepted into various colleges. I have looked into different majors. I have checked out and thought about the financial part of college. Luckily, I have finally made my decision. I made this decision based on a number of things. First, I had to listen to my heart. I knew that more than anything I wanted to be a teacher did. Going to school for anything other than teaching, I would have not been miserable. In addition, because I am paying for college on my own, I did take into account the financial aspect of it. This college is not only best financially for me but also for my major. Ball State is the college that I choose to go to. Not only is the college best for me financially but I feel also as if it is the best choice for my future. I want to be a special education and an elementary school teacher. When I looked into the other programs that other schools offered, I was disappointed. No other school that I looked into provided a teaching program that suited what I want to do for my future. Then I looked closer to Ball State. Ball State was founded on teaching. It is the best teaching college in Indiana. To make matters even better, Ball State offers the dual degree. I can go to Ball State and receive a dual degree. When I graduate from Ball State, I will have a degree as an elementary teacher as well as a degree as a special education teacher. I felt this is the school I belong at. This is the school God wants me to go to. This is the best school for my future and me.

Editor's Notes
- This multigenre essay is dealing with one of the most difficult decisions I have had to make in my life. It is related to my search for the college for me. It gives information from the colleges and careers I was deciding between, applying to colleges, to my final decision and what lead me to choose Ball State as my college. My essay is divided into 3 different sections. Section one is high school: the years leading to college. Section two is entitles: the search begins. Finally, section three will be called: the final decision.
- This was a poem I wrote about leaving high school and getting ready to choose college and start my new path to life. I truly shows all the mixed feelings I was feeling. The excitement to graduate but the scared and nervousness of heading to college and choosing the path of life to take on my own. I think this poem that I wrote represents how most graduates feel.
- I entitled this “recipe” as my recipe for success. These ‘ingredients’ where the ‘ingredients’ of my senior year of high school. It was what I did to make sure I made excellent grades, stayed up on all my work, and graduated so that I could attend college.
- Together, my mom, Delana Ulmer, and I sat down to create my open house and graduation invitations. My family is a big family so we decided to just include graduation and open house invites all in one to save money. Together, this is the inside of my invitation that my mom and I came up with. After we wrote this part, we showed it to my dad, step-mom, and my step-dad to get their stamp of approval on it. We then had made the invitations and mailed them away to my family.
- This poem was one I found online written by Joanna Fuch. The only thing I did to the poem was add my name where it indicated. This poem talks about getting your diploma and never giving up on your goals. She says that you can achieve anything you believe. I believe anyone who is graduating needs to hear these powerful words.
- When coming across my search for the right college, I discovered something in the process that one should and must do when searching and applying for colleges and well as things one should not do when searching and applying for colleges. I made a list of things I learned and entitled it my do’s and don’ts of college searching. This gives a list on the “Do’s” that I created.
- This is a continuation of the previous slide. This is the list of don’ts that I came up with when I was applying and searching for colleges.
- This is the list of colleges that I knew I loved and wanted to go to. I ended up applying to most of all the seven but there were some I did not apply to because I did not think I could afford to go to that college.
- This is a set of “rules” that I came up with and created myself. They are the rules for when you are searching and applying for college. They are the things that I felt should be paid attention to and addressed most carefully. Some of the rules are steps that some may over look. I feel as though if someone applying or searching for college followed these “rules” they would not miss the important steps of this big, life changing process.
- I thought it would be a great idea to include some advice that I wish I would have received when I first started my college search. The advice I give are things I wish people would have told me and things that I learned on my own. The purpose or goal of writing this was to reach out to those who are unsure or overwhelmed by trying to find the right college. This advice column is to give them a sense of relief and knowledge that everything will work out and be alright if they follow and listen to their heart.
- As clearly stated, this is a list of the five colleges that I was accepted into. Once being accepted into these colleges, I knew it was time for me to make my final decision. I had to choose a college.
- This is an example of the simple version of my college essay that I wrote to Ball State. It is not the exact words I used or my exact essay. I just used this as an example of writing a college essay.
- This was the diary entry that I wrote when I first decided that one hundred percent without a doubt, Ball State was the right college for me. I am very pleased with my decision and have yet to regret choosing Ball State and teaching over my other college and career options.
