Example of a balanced college list:
1-3 Reach Schools 4-5 Match Schools 4-5 Safety Schools You are free to modify this around. It is always a plus if you apply to more schools instead of less -- especially if you are eligible for fee waivers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Student College list example #2 Reach: Tufts University Dartmouth University Match: University of Florida Florida State University Occidental College University of Central Florida Safety: St. Thomas University Miami Dade College Florida International University Rochester Institute of Technology |
Post-Applications
This is the moment you've been waiting for! Your college admissions tend to be released around the March-April months, or even earlier depending on if you applied early or a specific college that releases them earlier. Congratulations! You made it into college. Even if you did not make it into your dream college, be proud of what you've worked hard for. I like to believe that everything occurs for a reason. I'm sure the place you are attending will be where you belong. If you are the first in your family to attend college, you are here to succeed! |
