Your College List should consist of schools that are
right FOR YOU and ONLY YOU!
There are many factors that go into creating a college list. If
you do your research and make strategic decisions on which
schools are proper fits for you, then you will increase your
chances of acceptances!
Points to keep in mind when deciding WHERE to apply:
1. Just because you haven’t heard of it, doesn’t mean it’s not a great school!
Think BEYOND the IVY League! PLEASE!
2. Location: Begin to think about and discuss with family members the option
of going a bit further away for college. You can increase your chances of getting
accepted and receiving better financial aid packages. This is of course a personal
and family decision to make.
3. Diversify your list in terms of City, State and Private/Out-of-State schools so
that you will have viable options available to you once you have received your
financial aid packages. (We will discuss how to research all 3 types of institutions)
