Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood.

Part III: Ready to apply

This is the easiest step (although to some, this can be the hardest step). Once you've taken your tests and researched your schools, it's time to apply. You must always be mindful of application deadlines, certain schools process applications at differing dates, although, like high school, most college applications are due at the end of November. Although keep in mind, especially if you're in junior college, that you can sometimes choose the semester or quarter of your entry. What can sometimes be construed as the hardest part... the entry essay, this is what can set you apart from your peers. It is also in your essay that you can explain any anomalies in your grades / performance. When sending in your applications, check and then double check that all the paperwork the college has asked from you is in order, the more comprehensive and complete it is, the less troubles you will have in the process. It would be a good idea when you head to the post office to have delivery confirmation of your application, it might give you some peace of mind to know that your application has been well received. This would also be a good time to check up on any financial aids the government can offer you.
