This online tool will help you figure out what colleges are matched to the services, majors, location, cost etc. of your desired school. I highly recommend using this website throughout your junior year, the summer before your senior year, and fall of your senior year. This is a great resource for creating your college list.
- Type in bigfuture.collegeboard.org in the URL bar
- Hover the mouse over ‘Find Colleges’
- Once the drop down menu appears, click ‘College Search’
- On the left hand side of the new screen, you have a list of filters, ranging from ‘Type of School’ to ‘Location’ to ‘Paying’
- Play around with the filters, try and get the final list down to about 30-40 schools.
- When you see a school that interests you, click on it and read about it on their page.
- Write down schools that interest you to create a running list. You'll want about 10-15 schools on your list heading into your senior year.
