I am often asked when, exactly, does the admissions process begin. There is one correct answer to this question.
The college admission process begins with your very first contact with a college or university. This may happen in several ways- you may visit a college website, meet a recruiter at an event or counseling session, perhaps you made a phone call or sent an email to an admissions officer. These first impressions are more important than you may think, and may indeed have an impact on your application.
