    Prepare Your Application

    1. Write a stellar essay that shows Greensboro College something they can’t figure out from the other parts of your application. For a detailed guide on writing the best college essay, check this out.
    2. 2
    3. Get teacher recs that speak to your character. If you know what you’re majoring in and include that in your Greensboro College app, try to have at least 1 recommendation from a teacher in that department.
    4. 3
    5. Apply Before the Deadline. Too many students wait until the last minute to submit their application, and too much can go wrong during this precious time window. Since many students are applying on the last day, it’s possible that Greensboro College’s own system crashes. Don’t risk the added stress this can cause - submit your app a few days early.
