Cole Houser – Penn State University - York
About six months ago, I decided to join forces with NCSA to enhance my selection of a college. It was a great decision. NCSA gave me unlimited recruiting knowledge and resources that otherwise would have been difficult to reach. Their support and determination helped me get to this point today.
My only regret is that I wish I would have started this process earlier. I should have been looking at colleges at the start of my freshman year. But either way, there's no doubt the most fun I had making my decision was touring the campuses. Without college visits there is really no way of judging that school.
Those were the good times, but the worst times were when putting in those long hours of doing applications, sending countless e-mails, and talking on the phone to no-avail. But you can't let the negative things discourage you; part of the process of determining a college is going through ups and downs. There are going to be days where you just want to give up and quit, but then there days where you feel on top of the world. The key is to stay even keeled and things will work out.
