Conversations to Have with Your Future College Student

Choosing the right college

  • Make three lists - reach schools, match schools, safety schools
    • Reach schools – institutions your student feels might be a little out of reach, academically and financially. Their academic qualifications might not quite meet that school’s requirements, but they have a solid extra-curricular background that could make all the difference.
    • Match schools – Exactly what it sounds like! Your student matches the academic requirements for the institution, including GPA and any required test scores or coursework.
    • 安全 schools – Your student’s academic credentials exceed the admission requirements, so a high probability of being accepted will help you and your student breathe easy.
  • It’s important to remember not to rule out any institution because of cost. 你永远不知道 奖学金 or 金融援助 your student will be eligible for! Remember to consider things like 位置, 大小, 项目, 结果. However, be up front with your student about the realities of their college financing. Talk about expectations you have and how much your student will be expected to contribute.
