College Visits and College Selection
College Visits:
In order to have meaningful college visits, the prerequisite is to have a good understanding of the subject of interest of the student. As colleges have different rankings in different majors.
Once you have an idea of major, I suggest to pick colleges to visit in 3 categories:
​
Colleges that are difficult to get into
Colleges that are high probability of getting into
Colleges that you are 100% confident that you will get into
​
College Selection:
Once you have identified a few colleges, assuming you get admission into all your preferred colleges, the next is a nice problem to have – Which college to go to? In order to make a data-driven decision, I created a decision matrix for myself where I identified the parameters, assigned weightage to each parameter and finally provided a rank to each of the parameter. This gives a final score.
