Choosing a College Based On Academics
Admissions letters for standard deadline applications will reach you in mid-spring.
When the time comes to choose between the schools that have accepted you, your first consideration should be academics. Narrow down the field of candidate schools accordingly.
Of the schools that accepted you, which cater best to your academic and social needs? Which will be the best for your intellectual and social growth? That, after all, is what college is all about.
Once you've identified the two, three, or four schools which will best suit you academically and socially, reassess their team. Study the notes you have compiled in your file folders. If you've done a good job taking notes, you will have a lot of information at your fingertips.
