College Planning

College planning, including deciding which colleges to apply to, is a complex process. Determining how likely a college is to accept a student is not as easy as looking at a few grades and an SAT score. Also, the true cost of a college is rarely the cost printed in a brochure. Many things have to be taken into account when determining the true cost, including financial aid, likelihood of scholarships, and more.

Our College Planning Service Includes:

• Detailed college profiles for over 1,700 top colleges
• Information and qualifications on Need, Merit, and State Aid
• List Balancing Tools to ensure a well-balanced application pool
• Academic and Personal Profiles tailored to each grade level

Fit & Match categories are used to classify the likelihood of a student being admitted to each college on the student’s list. The five categories are:

• Very Good to Excellent
• Solid to Strong
• Good Choice
• Somewhat Difficult
• Very Difficult

Students can also see how they compare to the most recent freshman class accepted to each college on their lists, based on:

• GPA (grade point average)
• SAT (SAT scores)
• ACT (ACT scores)
• LEVEL (course level)
• ACTIVITY (extracurricular activities)
