The College Selection Process: Separating Myth from Reality John Iacovelli Dean of Enrollment Management “emeritus”

A Lesson in Supply and Demand The more applications a college receives, the more competition there will be for the available spots in the freshman class. From the college’s point of view, recruitment of students is the opportunity to attract the very finest students to their campus.

What’s Best for You? Four-year college vs. Two-year Residential student vs. Commuter Research vs. Teaching Oriented College Comprehensive vs. Specialized College

College Search… Do Your Research Factors to consider: Academic programs Majors offered Location Size Environment Extra-curricular activities/Student life Career planning/Internships/Study Abroad Admissions Requirements Cost Financial Aid/Scholarships/Work-Study Visit, Visit, VISIT!!

College Search… Do Your Research Factors to ignore: Your friend is going. Your boyfriend/girlfriend is going/is already there. They have great football team. I want to go as far away from home as I can. “Nameplate” chasing.
