A. applying for admission to only one college

A controlling idea is the one topic that the paragraph is going to cover. This paragraph is going to cover the very specific topic of applying to only one college.

The paragraph will eventually discuss the mistake portion of the topic sentence, but the controlling idea is focused on the act of applying to just one college.
