With more than 4,000 institutions of higher learning in the United States,
college selection can seem overwhelming. However, by following simple
strategies and choosing wisely, your student can end up at a college that
they can truly benefit from and enjoy.
First, begin with a list of potential schools. On average, students are
selecting 8-10 universities. A recommended guideline is to have:
2-3 Reach Schools (10%-20% chance of admission)
Within striking distance of GPA and test scores
Many factors are used in identifying admission
3-4 Match or Target Schools (70%-80% chance of admission)
GPA and Test Scores fall within or slightly above the school’s
average
1-2 Safety Schools (90%-100% chance of admission)
GPA and Test Scores above the schools averageSelection Criteria
