Applying to college can become a tedious task working in the old-fashioned, paper-based way. Filling in common data on forms is tiresome, and keeping track of the applications can challenge even the best-organized students. But help has arrived with a new online service from collegeboard.com that takes the drudgery out of the college application process.
collegeboard.com's Next Stop College feature is a free college application service that's easy, efficient and convenient for students and is affiliated with the College Board, the experts in making the transition from high school to college.
HOW IT WORKS
By simply clicking the ''apply to college online'' button on collegboard.com, students can reach Next Step College , a secure area where they can set up a private online application portfolio. Students can then create and save their applications and send them electronically to the colleges of their choice - a practice that is rapidly becoming standard for many colleges and universities.
