College & Career Readiness: Researching Colleges

Learn strategies to create a personalized list of potential schools that meet your individual needs.

Not sure where to start with your college search? You’re not alone. This workshop is all about helping you build a smart, personalized college list that actually fits who you are and what you want.

We’ll walk you through how to:

• Match schools to your academic goals and interests
• Think about location, size, and campus vibe
• Factor in financial aid and affordability
• Understand acceptance rates and admission requirements
• Balance your list with reach, match, and safety schools

By the end, you’ll have a solid game plan and a college list that makes sense for you, not just your GPA. Bring your questions, your curiosity, and maybe even your family. Let’s make this college thing a little less overwhelming— and a lot more you.
