REVIEW THE WEBSITES FOR THE COLLEGES TO WHICH YOU INTEND TO APPLY BEFORE YOU APPLY!
Selecting a School• LOCATION, MAJORS, COST, ADMISSION RATES, SIZE,
STUDENT LIFE…YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOUR STUDENT.
• A student’s College List should include a broad range of colleges
“SAFETY” SCHOOLS – student well exceeds admission requirements
“MATCH” SCHOOLS – student matches or exceeds admissions requirements
“REACH” SCHOOLS – admission requirements are very competitive, regardless of whether the student has exceeded admission requirements (historically very low admissions rates)
• Application fees range anywhere from free-$90. Applying to a large number of schools can be expensive and counterproductive.
