Where can I ask college admissions questions?

A large US-focused admissions discussion room for essays, lists, aid and application process questions — not “chance me” posts.

r/ApplyingToCollege is a peer forum for admissions process questions. It is not an official college counselor, and outcomes are never guaranteed. Keep personal identifiers out of your post.

Where to ask

r/ApplyingToCollege

Best for: College essays, scholarship questions, building a college list and other application-process discussion.

Why it fits: Its public description: “r/ApplyingToCollege is the premier forum for college admissions questions, advice, and discussions, from college essays and scholarships to college list help and application advice, career guidance, and more. A2C supports a welcoming and inclusive environment. Harassment, intimidation, and bullying are not tolerated.”

Before you post

  • Say your country and application cycle year; processes differ widely.
  • Ask a concrete process question rather than “Will I get in?”
  • School-specific questions are often better on that school’s own community after you read its rules.

Rule summaries are paraphrased from each community’s published rules (public archive copy retrieved 7 November 2026; original snapshot date unavailable). Current rules may differ — check the community’s rules before posting. A good fit does not guarantee a reply.
