How To Build Your College List

Learn how to build a balanced school list that matches up with your interests and goals before you apply to colleges this fall.

There are more than 2,400 undergraduate colleges in the United States and narrowing that down to the final colleges that you will apply to is an incredibly important part of the college process. Our founder Vinay Bhaskara will walk through the best methods for building your school list, covering topics such as the optimal length of your school list, how to research colleges and find good ones for your intended major, how to balance risk, how to think about ROI and student outcomes, and many additional topics.

We’ll also open up the floor for a Q&A session to answer any and all questions about building your college list and researching schools.
