College admission requires homework

By Joanne Levy-Prewitt – Special to The Capital Times

High school seniors, if you’ve visited colleges this summer, chances are you’ve fallen in love with one of them.

It’s easy to do top-notch professors, stimulating programs, brick buildings with high-tech classrooms, friendly student tour guides, plush gyms and dining halls stocked with sushi and sundae bars.

Colleges intend to entice you with those goodies, and some, after luring you in, will tell you that your chances of admission are greatest if you apply early. Despite your infatuation, I urge you to think carefully before applying under one of the early admission programs.
