So, you’ve been accepted to several schools and you have a decision to make before May 1. What are you going to do?
1. Create a spreadsheet and write down all the pros and cons of the schools.
2. If cost is a factor, estimate how much it will cost over four years and if you have the money and/or are prepared to incur debt. No matter what, college is an investment in your future!
3. Visit the campuses. Many schools have admitted student receptions or open houses. Some may even have an overnight program to better acquaint you to the academic and campus culture.
4. Talk with current students, alumni, and faculty. Find out what’s going on with their campus by picking-up the student newspaper or reading it online.
5. Be patient and wait till you are ready to make a decision. This is an important decision, and needs to be carefully considered. Talk with people that know you the best – family, friends, and mentors.
Happy thinking!
