Is Your Rising Senior Ready for College Application Season?
College application season starts the summer between junior and senior year. This time calls for careful preparation, strategic planning, and informed decision-making. The path to securing a spot at a dream college is both challenging and competitive, but with the right approach, your child can stand out from the rest and AtomicMind is here to help!
A curated list of colleges provides a clear roadmap for your child's application efforts, ensuring attention is only given to those institutions that match your child’s educational and career goals.
Crafting the Perfect College List: Steps for Success
1. Research: Research what each college offers for both academics and extracurriculars. Consider factors such as location,
campus culture, available majors, and opportunities for research or internships.
2. Visit Campuses: If possible, visiting campuses can provide invaluable insights into the day-to-day life and atmosphere of a college. Virtual tours are also a beneficial alternative.
3. Consult With Alumni and Current Students: An excellent way to gain insight into a school is to speak with those who have
previously attended and are current students.
4. Consider Financial Aspects: Understanding the financial commitment required is crucial. Look into scholarship
opportunities, financial aid, and the return on investment each college offers.
5. Seek Professional Guidance: AtomicMind can provide personalized assistance tailored to your child's needs, from
selecting the right colleges to crafting compelling applications.
