There are more than 2,400 undergraduate colleges in the United States and narrowing that down to the final colleges that you will apply to is an incredibly important part of the college process. In this stream, advisor Ronni Shaw will walk through the best methods for building your school list, covering topics such as the optimal length of your school list, how to research colleges with an eye on your intended major, how to balance risk, how to think about ROI and student outcomes, and many additional topics.
