The stress that comes with college,  technically speaking, begins when you are in high school. Applying to colleges is a very crucial part of anyone’s education career.  It is at this time that you decide where you are going to spend the next 2 – 8 years of your life (depending on your specific degree goals and or lack of…).  Before receiving the accomplishment of an acceptance letter, the application process must come first, this can really test your patience.  The process can get to be long, tedious, and expensive.

Depending on which college, trade school, or training academy you wish to apply to, a letter of recommendation, and or short essay, may be required in addition to the application and transcript themselves.  Not only does this extend the length of time it takes to complete the application process but it also becomes a tedious task when trying to sort through which colleges need what documents in addition to your application.
