Discuss
Sometimes, you might run into challenges during the admissions process, like not knowing how to do a step or needing extra help. That’s okay! You can talk to counselors, teachers, family members or guardians to get support. It’s also important to speak up if you need accommodations or have questions. The more you prepare and ask for help when needed, the more confident you’ll feel.
