America has over 2,400 accredited four-year colleges, and every school is right for someone, but no school is right for everyone.
The colleges are looking for people that match their class profile, and you are looking for schools that match your needs and goals. Much like barter trade; if you have what the colleges want, and if what the schools offers interest you, there is a match.
A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that they MUST get into X University that ranks in the top 5 of the US News. Some look at the top 300, others look only at the top 30; while yet others look at only the Big Three: Harvard, Princeton, Stanford.
So the very first thing you will have to do is to search for the college that is right for you. Again, it does not mean looking at only the top 10 or 20 schools in the United States. To know what schools match you, you must do a self-assessment. But before you do that, you have to know what you are looking for. As I said earlier, college picking is all about matchmaking.
- Think about what you want. Why do you want to go to college?
- What do you hope to do when you’re in college?
Asking yourself these questions will help you discover more about yourself and what you want in life. Believe me, this can be one of the most fun first step, but also, the most importan part.
