Before you start applying to colleges, research different schools to find the best fit for your child; not because it is the best school on the list means your child will thrive and be happy. Start by determining your child’s interests and goals, and then decide what schools they would be a good fit for (if you are unsure how to start the process, book a FREE consultation with one of our certified college admissions consultants).
Finding the best school for your child may include researching different majors, programs, and specialties at each school to find the one that best aligns with your child’s interests and goals.
Once you have a list of potential schools, you must do more than just read their websites. Look into their information, the school’s profile statistics, acceptance rate, and graduation rates.
You may also want to look at the cost of attendance, financial aid information, and how many students received financial aid to understanding the school’s culture, curriculum, and what it’s like to be a student at that specific school.
