Ok, so you’re ready to start thinking about your college options. You have to think carefully about which colleges to apply to. Here’s a suggestion on how to go about choosing:
1. First, think about what you want out of a college. Don’t worry too much about detail (the weather, for example); just get down some main ideas. For instance, there’s no point applying to a large state university if you cannot see yourself ever attending a big university.
2. Then, write down a list of colleges that fit your criteria.
3. Separate this list into three categories: the colleges you’re most likely to get into (ones that have a very high acceptance rate, for example) – safeties. The ones that you know would be extremely difficult for you to get into – reaches. And the ones in between – reasonables.
