Search for College
and University "Official" Information
To best way to evaluate college and university "official" information
is to go to each college's website and:
- Click on "Prospective Students" and check out the various
links. Read the Prospective Student information carefully; get a
sense of the priorities and overall mission of the college.
- Take the online "virtual campus tour". Every
college and university provides a virtual tour of their campus, using
either panoramic photos or videos.
- Look at the academic departments. Do they offer your major?
- Look at "Student Life". Do the colleges appeal to you socially?
Are there the right kinds of campus activities?
- Look at the incoming freshman statistics or “Freshmen Profile” to
see how you compare to last year's entering class. What were
last year's freshman class average GPA, SAT/ACT Test scores, percentage
of applicants accepted, etc.? How do your GPA and Test scores compare?
What are your chances of getting accepted?
- What is the total cost to attend each college? How much financial
aid is given to students on average? How much financial aid is free
money (scholarships and grants)?
- How much financial aid is given as loans? Remember, financial aid
includes loans and on-campus jobs, not just free money that you don't
have to repay. Keep in mind that LOANS ARE FINANCIAL AID YOU MUST REPAY!
