MISTAKE #1: FOCUS ON BEING WANTED

Identify schools that give you access to the experiences you want to have. Approach college planning focused on how you can access these experiences to learn what you love and don't love.

College costs are confusing

Learn how to approach college so you can pay less and get more.

Rankings and prestige do not equal success

The data is clear -- it's not where you go to college, it's the experiences you have in college.

Don't take their word for it.

Talk to students living the experiences you want to live. Know how to get the information you can't find on websites and campus tours.

Mistake #3: OVERLOOK INTERNSHIP, GRADS RATES, AND CAREER OUTCOMES

Kknow what schools are doing to help students find internships mentors, experiences, and jobs.

Thank you for making this process less stressful. It's clear what we should focus on when looking at schools.  As a parent who has done this before, there is so much more I need to think about.

I feel so much better now. There is so much pressure on our kids. I wish they taught this in school.
