How do I choose which colleges to apply to?

Start by deciding what you want to do in life. Consider the following questions.

• How do you imagine your life in 5 years? In 10?
• Do you like frequent travel?
• Is frequent interaction with people a must?
• Is a medical career or taking care of people in other ways interesting to you?
• Would you prefer to be outside most of the time?
• Do you like schemas, maps and precise science?
• Do you want to optimize your future earnings regardless of the essence of the work?
• Are you interested in ART or STEM?

When you have your answer, you can choose appropriate academic programs.

After that, consider campus life, location, size, and cost. Research colleges thoroughly and think about what environment will best support your personal and academic goals. Our rank tool will help you with that!

Don’t forget to look at requirements - anything specific about essays? Standardized tests? Compare your HS stats with the student body of your college.
