Your College Goals and Interests
What kind of college or university do you see yourself in? Given what you know about yourself and your current goals and priorities, please provide some idea of the kind of college experience you envision. It’s OK if you’re not sure what you want yet – that’s part of the college admissions process! If you don’t know, or don’t care too much at this stage, feel free to say so.
Where would you like to go to college? What states or regions in the U.S., or even other countries, are you interested in?
What kind of college setting do you prefer? Right in the city? A campus near the city? A small town or more rural campus?How big is too big, or how small is too small? 1,000 students? 2,000? 5,000? 10,000? 30,000? Small, medium, large, very large?
Are any of these attributes important to you? College (undergrad only) vs. University (undergrad, grad, professional students)? Liberal Arts (balanced) vs. Pre-Professional (business, communications, engineering, visual or performing arts, etc.)? Coeducational (men and women) vs. Single Sex (usually means women’s these days)?
What type of campus atmosphere, students, and student culture would be right for you? A more conservative or traditional place? A more liberal or progressive environment? Balanced? What characteristics would you like to find? What kind of college do you see yourself in?
What characteristics would you like to avoid? What kind of college experience do you not want to have?
Are there any academic areas, Majors, or Concentrations, in which you are particularly interested right now?
Are there any specific colleges or universities in which you are more interested at this time? Which ones and why?
Have you ruled out any colleges? Which ones and why?
Have you visited any colleges and universities during high school? Which ones, and what were your reactions?
