Attention high school seniors! The 2007-08 college application season begins September 1. Pull out your playbook now and start your pre-season planning!

Planning? What? Yes! Planning. You didn't think you were going to take that preliminary list of 30 colleges/universities you thought were interesting and apply to all of them did you? No way!

Your objective now, should you choose to accept this assignment, is to narrow your preliminary list of institutions down to a solid list of 3 to 5 colleges/universities that you honestly think you want to apply to. How do you do this? Keep reading.

If you're still working on the final list of colleges/universities for this fall's applications, here are some free resources that will help you narrow down your choices.
As you look for more information on the colleges/universities you are interested in, keep in mind that you need to find those 3 to 5 institutions that (a) offer the degree/program you are interested in, (b) fit the profile you've put together (right size, right location, right number of students, etc.), (c) have good reputations and are accredited, and (d) mesh well with your academic qualifications. If you do all this as you work through your final search, you'll easily be able to narrow down your list.

Oh... and make sure you do apply to that one dream school--even if you don't think you have a snowball's chance in... well, you get the idea. It doesn't hurt to dream; and you may just be the one unique student that college/university is looking for.

Until next time!
