Step-by-Step Guide

Overview

Working with your school counselor to build a thoughtful college list is one of the most valuable things you can do junior year. They have insights about where students from your school have succeeded!

Preparing for Your Meeting

  • Your activities list
  • An initial list of 15-20 schools you're curious about

Great Questions to Ask Your Counselor

  • "Which schools have students from our school been successful at with profiles similar to mine?"
  • "Are there schools I should consider that I might not know about?"
  • "What do you think is a realistic range for me?"

Creating Your Tracking System

Set up a spreadsheet with columns for:
