The biggest question that haunts us in the last two years of high school is “Which college should I apply to”? Yes, it is an important question & sometimes creates confusion in our mind and puts a lot of pressure as well. Read these few tips which will help you narrow your college list so you can be completely prepared:
-
- Consider your chance for success: Students tend to get so consumed with getting into a good college that they forget the real purpose which is to select a course that they feel passionate about and succeeding at it. Choose a college which will give you the right kind of exposure to excel in your subjects.
-
- Keep more options: Yes, one college should be your ultimate target but it is always better to keep a few more options. Keep a few similar colleges in your list and make sure you give your best in the entrance exams!
-
- Take note of the kind of people that’ll surround you: One of the most important points to check while selecting colleges to apply to is the kind of people that you will be attending college with. Talk to the alumni of the colleges and understand the kind of friends you are going to have. The people that will surround you in college are the ones you will be spending most of your time and sharing the best years of your life with.
-
- Look beyond reputation: A college might have the reputation of a cool, party school. Make sure that this is not a criteria for you to choose a college. At the end of the day, you have to consider how the college will help you grow into a better and well-rounded person. It should enhance your knowledge and challenge your intellect.
- Stretch your opportunities: Don’t play safe! Challenge yourself and strive for the best! Make sure you demand better from your own self. Your college is the beginning of your career and plays a crucial role in the person you will become! Go to a great college and treat it as an opportunity to learn more and grow as an individual.
