HWhat will I do with the rest of my life? While some students consider jobs or the military, most opt for college. Pick- ing the right school and major is a tough challenge. Im- maculatais guidance department lead's students in the right direction as they start out on their quest for the Hperfect college, beginning in their junior year. Seeking the right college involves tasks such as sort- ing through mail, looking at schools, filling out applica- tions and financial aid. Some students not only receive college mail at home, but often sports-related letters are waiting in homeroom. ttAt first I'd open every en- velope, recalls Tony DeSapio, Hbut as the pile contin- ued to grow, I became more selective. The most inter- esting brochure was from the Nashville Auto Diesel School boasting of their 18 wheeler technology. Many seniors are convinced that an important part of the college selection process includes Visiting the col- leges. According to Kristen Fedak, Once you go on campus, you need to picture yourself living there 4 years. For me, some schools were too isolated, while others seemed perfect. Perhaps the most important step in this process lies in filling out the application. Some regard this as being the most tedious as well, grieved by the intimidating 8 page application packet with essay questions and A teacher recommendations. Seniors are encouraged to apply for financial aid. For most, this is an important factor in making the final de- t ClSlOIl. Then the waiting begins. As Debbie Witskin sums it V up I find selecting the right college to be a very diffi- cult choice. I by: J ill Grodkiewicz
