Well, I'm still technically in the process of finishing off the applications and chosing a uni, but I did notice the various detrimental aspects of not reading the fine print on the college admission requirements before I sent them my SAT scores and wasted $20.
[They only accepted students over 17, and I have the misfortune of being two years back.]
... not that the age problem is one you'll run into, but make sure you read everything, even the pages that don't apply, ask the questions that you would normally consider to have obvious answers. Make sure the decison you're making is an informed one, not merely the only one available, or the most convenient.
I'm left pining for my twenty dollars back. ^_~
