You know, when I started my college applications, I felt totally lost about how to build my college list. I mean, it’s all about finding the right fit, right? Here’s what really helped me nail it.
First, I made a list of what was important to me: location, size, majors, and campus vibe. Then, I tapped into resources like College Board and Niche to compare schools. Visiting campuses (even virtually) was a game-changer—seeing what I liked and didn’t like in person made a huge difference.
Finally, I talked to my school counselor for insider info. Their perspective on which schools might be good matches was super valuable.
So, keep it organized and don’t hesitate to seek input from others! You’ll thank yourself later when you have a solid list!
