[quote=Anonymous]Start with basics - know your budget, consider general location/geographic areas of the country, size (small, med, large), potential major if known, any other campus characteristics. Consider admission possibility - GPA, how rigorous (how many APs), scores if known. In the past, scores were an easy way to rule colleges in or out, though now test optional really does have everyone - students and colleges - flying blind. I still think it can give you some ideas about academic fit if the student has them, yet many students will score a little higher by fall of senior year. Once you know your budget, you can compare that to costs. Colleges have a Net Price Calculator that estimates need-based aid, very important to look at if you will be needing financial aid.[/quote]
