Answer 1

Hi. I'm a Junior fan too, so I decided to answer your question. :)

There are a lot of things to take into consideration when choosing a college. Some of the above answers contain some great questions to ask yourself as you make choices about where to apply.

However, I do disagree with one answer. Private colleges often support their students financially BETTER than public ones, if the student is from a middle-to-lower income household, has a great GPA, and very good SAT scores. So don't immediately discount private colleges unless you know you're unlikely to merit any need-based or merit-based financial assistance.

The website below is one good site on which you can fill out a long questionnaire, and then its search engine will produce a list of colleges that might be right for you. After you get the list, follow up on each college by doing research: Visit the college's website, contact the admissions office for brochures, etc.

Choosing colleges can be a difficult and confusing process, but if you know where to start, it can also be fun!

Best wishes to you! And Go Little E!

Answer 2

Do you want to stay in state, your region, or leave? What do you want to study? Large university or smaller college? How competitive?

Start answering some of those questions. Realize that leaving your state, especially if you go quite far away, can jack up your travel costs.

However, if you have a particular major in mind, it might be worth going further away. At least you can weed out schools that don't offer potential majors you might be interested in.

Does the size of the school matter to you? Are you the kind of person who likes a big school, or would you prefer the more personal environment of a smaller school?

Realistically, how academically competetive are you? If you have a 3.0 average, you probably don't have a shot at the Ivies (Harvard, Yale, etc.).

Using these questions, you can at least start eliminating schools. Then focus on the schools that meet your criteria and visit them if you can.

Good luck!

Also know that if you go to an out of state school your tuition will be at least DOUBLED an in state so you need to keep that in mind. YOu will NOT get enough financial aid to cover an out of state school. If you go to a private college it will cost more than likely at least 2 or 3 times the cost of a public univ and you will not get enough financial aid (unless you get scholarships from the school) to cover that cost..keep these things in mind when you decide..
