The best part of @AustinCrockett is our students. One tiny example: It’s my third week here. I dont think I’ve opened a door for myself in the presence of a student once. Coogs always go out of their way to help me when I need them, whether I know them or not.
A7) Applying to your university by the scholarship deadline (and not just the FINAL deadline) ensures you will be considered for university-specific scholarships! #ApplyTxChat#AskTXOC
A4) We encourage students to complete a draft of their essays junior year so they have material to edit senior year. During application season, essays feel daunting, so starting early - before students are overwhelmed - is our recommendation! #ApplyTxChat#AskTXOC
A3) Students don't often realize how majors are organized into colleges within a larger university and struggle to select a college that houses their major of interest. It's a great time to teach students how to navigate a university's website to find information! #ApplyTxChat
A2) I access the counselor suite almost daily to see which of my students seem stuck and which ones need help just getting started. The fact that it updates in real-time is so helpful! #ApplyTxChat#AskTXOC
A1) When students are looking at multiple TX colleges, its an easy sell - just tell them they can literally copy and paste their application from one school to the next! #ApplyTxChat#AskTXOC
