keep watching - be happy with your choice in college list I will guide you
in choosing the perfect College list for you my first tip is to create a raw list
of colleges but these colleges all have to fall in the group of meeting your
basic needs so what I mean by that is the schools you have to think about what
size school you want how many people you want in the school where you want it
located what kind of town you want it to be in a big city or a small town and you
also have to think of the social political cultural environment of the
school and whether that fits in with what you want to be a part of so
considering all those things you want your raw list of colleges to be falling
into all those basic needs that you require
so once you have that list I tell you aim for somewhere between
let's say 20 30 colleges in that raw list now what you're gonna do is group
each college and whether it's approximately reach school hard to get
into middle school middle to getting to and low or safety school which is going
to be easier to get into now the way my college counselor and I did it is we
looked at acceptance rates so the higher the acceptance rate the more safety it
was but lower the acceptance rate the more high reach it was you also have to
consider your scores for example with the scores that the students who can
admit it are getting so I would Google the colleges name and statistics or
score statistics and it will tell you the average SAT scores the average
scores that students at that college again you can also Google is this
university or each school is this University a middle school so do that
Google just is this University of Reece cool is this University middle school
and also ask yourself based on your own scores and based on the acceptance
average acceptance rate you see online so that will help you group your
computer all colleges into like reach schools middle schools and safety
schools and what you're aiming for is three three three four four four so by
the end of the day in the next few tips I'm gonna give you you want to start
eliminating colleges and only apply to the ones that you really really love and
the ones that you feel like wow I could really go here so now you have the
rawest and you want to make sure that you have at least four in each category
and now that you have four in each category you want to start getting to
know the schools so for example if you have a list of 30 schools like I just
told you to do or all lists but 20 of them are reaches and ten of them our
middle schools and you have no safety that's a problem we have to make sure
that we balance them out because we need to increase our chances of getting into
college so my next tip is now that you have the list start touring colleges
does your school offer college tours there's a program near you after offer
offer college tours can one of your parents take you or your guardian or a
family member do you have a friend in high school that's really into colleges
and really into a broad array of different colleges are they going we'll
ask them very nicely if you can join them just make sure you get on those
college tours whether it takes going with a friend from your high school or
asking any family member to take you like make sure you are going to those
college tours because they are really important in maybe adding a new college
to your list and crossing some old ones off your list or making one college on
your raw list a definite yes so they will help you with essay writing
material when you are on those tours bring a notebook and write things that
you feel inspired to say in your supplement or your essays write things
that will be useful for your college application
my next tip is while you're in the process of touring colleges what you
have to do is Google weather so you're going to tour three colleges in a
weekend does this Google this university admissions interviews some colleges do
admissions interviews which I didn't know until I started touring colleges
and I would see students doing pre admissions interviews with admissions
themselves and that that and that can help you because if you're meeting with
admissions they're the people who are going to be reading your essays that can
only help you if you tell them how much you love their school and why and that
only takes a 20 minute google search online so definitely if the school's
you're touring offer that sign up for an admissions interview and take advantage
of that and if they don't then it's okay because it's not like you'll be being
compared to other students who have had them for example Brown we we offer no
admissions interviews before applying to brown so but some schools do and that
can give you good leverage so check that out
next tip top two people who go to the college whether it's stopping someone
from the con saying hey I might apply here do you have a second to answer two
questions and think of your two questions that you really really want to
ask or messaging someone who used to go to your high school who now that goes to
the college you're looking into and asking hey what is this college about do
you love it here do you hate it and asking them some questions or you could
ask a friend of yours who goes to that college questions and you can also ask a
friend of yours hey can I visit you in the college because that way you can sit
in on lectures you could go to the cafeterias you can see how people
interact or some colleges have when you're interested in going there they
have optional weekend stays where they pair you with the student and you get to
go sit in with classes and you get to stay over there or sometimes they have a
sleepover version for a weekend and sometimes they have okay you can go to
these three classes today as a part of your tour and as a part of your day at
this College so call the admissions office or call the University Office and
ask what are the options for me to get to know your school better or there is
there anyway consider it on classes how can I schedule that or how can I
schedule staying with a student for a weekend do you have any programs like
that so reach out to the college and ask if they have any programs like that
because what you want is to get college students who go there you want their
perspective you want to know what it would be like to go there every day
my last tip is to look online at stats stats are going to be so your best
friend do you love the courses that are offered do you love the syllabi that are
coming with those courses do you like the requirements do you want to school
who has a list of requirements or do you want an open curriculum at Brown where
we only have two requirements besides our major so make sure to look at stats
make sure that you are happy with the environment with the people with the
classes with the curriculum and all of those things and that will help you
identify some of your favorite favorite schools but it will also help you narrow
down that rough list that we talked about at the beginning because that's
where you're gonna start with you have to start with a big list and then narrow
down does this meet my basic needs well okay does this meet my specific needs
what did I think of the tours and then before you know it you'll have 4 for 4
or 333 in each category in reach in middle and safety and that's what you
want and you'll have done all this prep work that applying will be a piece of
cake because you will have all your notes from your tours you will have all
the reasons why you chose to college and you will have a great idea of why you
love the colleges and when you apply you will be able to put your best foot
forward and describe why you love to school and when you get your acceptance
is you'll be happy with every school because you will have hand selected them
yourself and you will love every school on your list
thank you so much for watching this video I hope you got a better idea of
how to narrow down your college list and how to make an organized 3 3 3 or 4 4
for college list so I hope that you enjoyed this video comment either your
college list below or comment how many schools you will be applying to in the
fall below or what you're thinking about so have a beautiful day and I hope Brown
