I'm trying to apply to some colleges today, and it is harder than I thought!  Some of the things are a lot more confusing than they seem, and I am just really nervous about the whole process.  There is a school that I really like but I'm not sure if I should do early decision or not.  I think I would go there if I could, but I hate feeling trapped, and early decision is legally binding. I am now waiting for my letters of recommendation.  I asked my teachers last May and reminded them earlier this month, but neither of them have given them to me yet.
