[quote=Anonymous]Sit down with the child and talk about what factors are important. Together form the beginning of a list. Make a spreadsheet as suggested above. Eventually, you will categorize the colleges as reaches, matches, or safeties. Figure out what your budget is, whether you will need financial aid. Use the Net Price Calculator - each college has one. Add the estimates to your spreadsheet. Think about whether visits to any of the schools would be possible, especially if they are nearby. There is no need to tour every single college on the list, but visiting a few could provide some helpful perspective on likes/dislikes. (Many of the seniors who just graduated did not have this option; there are virtual tours, etc., certainly worth exploring as well, though we much preferred in person.)[/quote]
