2. Find financial support for you tuition. Tuition is only getting more and more expensive. Unless you have enough cash to support that, you need to find some sort of financial support in order to go to college. Most college financial aid offices will provide you with a ton of information, including government loans and grants for student, academic scholarship, need based scholarship, etc… However, even after all of that, it is probably still not enough. You might have to find some private loans to fill the gap.
3. Take the test. Most colleges will ask you to take the SAT test in order to see whether you are proficient enough to go to college. However, some colleges nowadays, especially the ones that are geared towards adult re-entry education, no longer ask their applicants to take the SAT test. Therefore, it really depends on what schools you are looking for and if it is a tier 1, 2, or 3 school. If you must take the SAT, then you should consider taking a prep course. Testing services offer those courses. You will need to do very well at the SAT if you want to get in a good school.
