How to research colleges and careers Reservoir High Jill Altshuler

Finding the right college The college with the best football team? The college with the best radio station? US News & World Report’s #1? The college I can afford? THE ANSWER WILL BE DIFFERENT FOR EACH OF YOU.

Successful students are happy and happy students are successful. Making the match It’s not about finding the best college, it’s about finding the right college. The right college is where students can be happy and successful. Successful students are happy and happy students are successful.

Self assessment Self-Assessment: Discovery and Facing Reality Who are you? What do you want to do? What have you done so far? How hard have you worked in high school? How involved are you in the life of the school? What makes you special? Use the personality surveys from Naviance, PSAT or SAT scores, GPA’s, feedback from others to do a self-assessment.

Research, research, research Start with a college search on College Board. https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/college-search https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/ https://connection.naviance.com/family-connection/auth/login/?hsid=reservoirhs Perform MULTIPLE searches using different criteria to find a diverse list of schools!
