i'm so confused!
i'm a junior and i am seriously SO confused about colleges. thinking about colleges stresses me out because of the long process that i have no idea what to do! so i just have a couple of questions. say i go to a university--the university has colleges in it..i guess they have different schools for different subjects? so say i go to the art and science college at this university--would that be my major??? what is a major/minor?? how do you send a college application and what's this about an essay and resume?? i'm SOOOO confused. can someone please help me??

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
First of all, take a breath. You have a bit to figure this out. ( that is if you are going into your junior year)
The colleges within a university are just like, subdividers of the university, and the majors you are interested in fall under these different subdivisions. These colleges are not seperate schools and in most cases do not require seperate applications, they are more just a schools way of organizing their majors. Majors are more like, Psychology, or English-- the more direct subjects you want to study. Most schools will let you apply undeclared anyways, which would give some time to figure out what you were most interested in. Also, you can double major ( have two majors) or a Major and a Minor. Thus you could easily take classes under two "colleges" in one university.
As for scores, it depends greatly on your GPA, extracarriculars,and what schools you are looking at applying to-- the rigor of acceptance differs greatly between schools. You will apply for college in the fall of your senior year, and your junior year is the most important year as far as grades, so work hard, and take the hardest classes available too you!

well i am in the same boat as you i am a 16/f who is going to be a junior but i have looked around at colleges a bit and here is what i know
1. Your minor and major are more specific the arts and science they are like Fine arts and Bio. engineering for example.
2. The essay should be self explanitory. Have you seen and Application? if not i would suggest geting one and filling it out just for practice
3. You can only graduate from 1 college, but most colleges allow you to take just a few classes at their college without graduating from there. Like say your college of choice doesn't offer painting classes you can take it at another school for credits
4. and your sat/act score depends on the school. I know to go to honors college or be in the honors program at most schools you need around a 1300 out of 1600 (well it is really out of 2400 but majority of school DO NOT look at the writing section.. if you need explination on that i would be happy to tell you why)
5 Most school want you to apply by the beginning of school your senior you but you have to look at the schools specific website for deadline detains. its better to apply early than late because the earlier you apply the better dorms you get and what not because its mostly first come first serve
