2. Your college list has got to be well-balanced, well-fitting, and strategic. Get the balance right by applying to a variety of schools with different acceptance rates and academic averages.
3. They should generally fall into one of three categories:
1. Likely/Safety
2. Target/Match
3. Reach
1. Likely/Safety
2. Target/Match
3. Reach
4. LIST
2-3 likely colleges. Your grades & test scores should be above their average scores.
3-4 target colleges whose undergrad profiles MATCH that of your academic profile.
2-3 reach colleges where your grades & test scores are LOWER or at the bottom of the college’s average.

5. EVERY school on your list should be a good fit—academically, extracurricularly, socially, financially, and culturally. Don’t let a school’s selectivity cloud your judgment on this.
6. Shift your mindset from simply being admitted to schools, to thinking through other variables that will impact chances of admission, opportunities for scholarships, and future goals.
