I know absolutely nothing about it and pretty soon I'll have to start picking out schools, which sucks.

    I still don't know anything about the college application process, and I already went through it last year...

    YOU INSPIRE SUCH CONFIDENCE IN ME, DYRE.

    Pretty much everyone has to improvise their way through it. Don't worry; your competition is doing the same.

    FYI, the better schools usually have earlier deadlines.  I don't know why.

    That said, it sounds like you're applying for undergraduate admission.  Be happy you're not applying for a master's or PhD program.  Some of those have obnoxiously early deadlines, like December or even November of the year before.

    My mom is gonna make me sign up in my Junior year...is that common?

    On the other hand, the Manhattan School Of Music will probably not accept me, and I don't have a backup school to choose if I can't go to that one...crap.

    There's a bunch of other music schools.

    You're looking at music schools?

    What instrument do you play, or what are you applying for?

    I'm more interested in being a composer. I'm learning piano right now (Or will be when I can get a keyboard >_>)

    I've never really been good at playing instruments, but I'm good at composing them.

    Chagen: If by sign up, you mean apply, then no. Schools will want to see your junior year grades unless you're being admitted a year early. Also, have you taken music theory?

    Wicked: Do you have a counselor who handles college stuff at your school? It's really not too bad as long as you keep track of all the deadlines.

    My mom wants me to apply the summer after my Junior Year, so that pothole's taken care of.

    The hardest part of the process is navigating all of the schools different sites. Every single one is horrible in a different way.

    Okay, now that I'm actually actively searching for a college, this is even stupider than I thought.

    Most schools have their own application process, which, on top of being a big pain in the ass content-wise, often has meh-at-best web interfaces if they even have web interfaces at all.

    Oh it feels good to have that shit over with.

    I'm having the same problem, but the hardest part for me is that I've liked every college I've visited so far.
