-Applying to College- Many of the participants applied to college during their senior year in high school, but there wre also a couple of people who applied while they were in Germany. If you want to apply to colleges when you are in Germany, just know that the process can be a bit complicated when you have to send in specific forms. You might also need to sacrifice a bit of fun time to write the application.
-Deferring admissions to the school- Talk to the admissions office to see whether you can defer your admission. If they said yes, be sure to send them an email and have them write back to confirm it. People can sometimes forget what they say and you would want to try your best to avoid that situation.
-Financial Aid situation- If you applied for financial aid for the college that you plan on attending, call the financial aid office to find out if your scholarships apply for the next year. One of the schools that I applied to mentioned that one of the scholarships that I was eligible for would not be eligible if I defer the admission for a year. You should also remember to apply to financial aid again when you are in Germany, since it requires renewal.
-Textbooks- if you are fortunate enough and have high school friends who have already attended the same college for a year, you can ask them if they have textbooks that you need. You might end up saving yourself some money.
