Hey all, I'm a junior and I'm just starting my college search. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the options and I'm not sure where to start. Are there any resources or tools that can help me find the right college for me? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Hi there! It's great that you're starting your college search early. There are many resources available to help you find the right college for you. First, I would recommend talking to your high school guidance counselor, as they can offer personalized advice based on your interests, grades, and extracurricular activities. They may also have resources and tools available to help you in your search. Additionally, you can use online tools like College Board's BigFuture or the U.S. Department of Education's College Navigator. These tools allow you to search for colleges based on factors such as location, size, majors, and more. You might also want to attend college fairs and open houses to get a feel for different campuses and speak with admissions representatives. Finally, don't forget to consult college rankings and guidebooks to gather more information on specific schools. Good luck in your search!
