The College Applicant's Twelve Days of Christmas


High school seniors are notorious procrastinators. Without going through all twelve tedious verses, here’s my gift to those of you who are still shoveling out and struggling to meet deadlines:

The College Applicant’s Twelve Days of Christmas

On the first Day of Christmas
I still have lots to do
A heart-warming personal essay
On the third Day of Christmas
I still have lots to do
Three campus visits
Two interviews
And a heart-warming personal essay
...
On the fifth Day of Christmas
I still have lots to do
FIVE TEACHER REC’s
Four interviews
Three campus visits
Two college fairs
And a heart-warming personal essay
On the ninth day of Christmas
I still have lots to do
Nine transcript forms
Eight school reports
Seven different deadlines
Six email thank-you's
FIVE TEACHER REC's
Four interviews
Three campus visits
Two college fairs
And a heart-warming personal essay
...
On the twelfth Day of Christmas
I still have lots to do
Twelve apps a-waiting
Eleven shorter essays
Ten score requests
Nine transcript forms
Eight school reports
Seven different deadlines
Six email thank-you’s
FIVE TEACHER REC’s
Four interviews
Three campus visits
Two college fairs
And a heart-warming personal essay!

Happy Holidays everyone!
