 Use the College Supermatch to narrow your search  Location, majors, school type, size, setting, public vs. private, admission rate, graduation rate, special services, sports, Greek life, religious affiliation, GLBT friendly, “college town” ……..

 See all the colleges that fit your preferences  Continue on using the college search program, save your search.  Begin your “colleges I am interested in” list on your personal Naviance webpage

 Veterinarian medicine  Dentistry  Pharmacist  Teaching  Undeclared…. #1 Major  Keep in Mind: Most students change their major after the first year of college!

 Graduation Rates: Are they based on students graduating in 6 years or 4 years?  Most graduation rates are based on 6 years so statistics appear better than they really are  What is the average SAT score and GPA of incoming freshman, will the school match me “academically”?

 BEST resource when visiting a school THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES!  Sit in the quad area, ask questions to students  Spend the night in the dorms  Attend a class  Talk to high school alums

Campus tour questions???

 Do you have a roommate matching service?  Do you have a mentor program?  Do you have tutoring available or other resources if a student begins to struggle academically  Do you have counseling services available for a student in crisis or under stress?  Do you have major and career exploration available?

 Do you have an escort service for students attending night classes?  Are there campus police?  What are your school’s crime statistics?

 What has been your personal experience at this school?  Why did you choose this school?

 What sets your college apart from others like it?  What is it like in the dorms, do all freshman have to live on campus?  What is the food like?  What are the typical class sizes for a freshman course?
