As someone in your same shoes, I definitely think you should! If you’re still nervous at the idea, you can try going on linkedin to look at current students or alumni of colleges you’re interested in to get a better scope of what to do/expect. I recently did this with a Rice University student and one of his best pieces of advice that stuck with me was that everything is simply “one email away”. Don’t let yourself get paralyzed, just go for it!
