I'm kind of overwhelmed with the number of colleges out there, and I'm not sure how I should go about narrowing them down. Are there any online quizzes that could help suggest colleges based on my interests and preferences?
Absolutely, there are several online tools that can help you with the college selection process. One of them is CollegeVine's school search feature. This tool lets you input a range of preferences, such as desired school size, location, areas of study, campus culture, and more. Based on these factors, it then returns a list of colleges that might match your preferences.
Another handy tool is the College Board's Big Future College Search. It's quite extensive and lets you filter colleges based on several different factors including major, location, size, campus life etc.
Also, don't underestimate the importance of talking with others as part of your college search. Reach out to high school counselors, teachers, college admissions counselors, and current college students to gain more insights. They can share their experiences and insights that may not be captured in an online quiz or database.
