38 Information Night for Juniors Standardized Testing Overview: See back of page. Choosing a College: Finding the Right Fit Class of 2014 Counselors Mr. Javier Polavieja Mr. Tom Daugherty Guidance Counselor (A-K) Guidance Counselor (L-Z) Javier_polavieja@ipsd.org tom_daugherty@ipsd.org Choosing a college is a process and it is unique to each student s goals, experiences, level of interest, and involvement. A key word in admissions today is fit. This refers to the fit between the student and college. If the fit is a good match, then the student and the college both flourish and are satisfied. Therefore, the college search involves two main components: the characteristics of the student and the characteristics of the college. The best college is the one that is the best fit for the individual student! There are five factors (the 5 P s) involved in making a good match between a student and potential colleges: Person, Program, Place, People, & Price. 1 Step One: Know Yourself (Person!) Different colleges complement different learning styles. o Reflect upon the following: What are my educational goals? What courses have I taken in high school? Which ones have been my favorites? What am I involved in (extra-curricular activities, work, hobbies, other interests)? What are my test scores? What is my GPA /class rank? o Who are you as a learner? Active or passive? Auditory, visual, tactile? Do you like discussing, experimenting, theorizing? How do you earn good grades homework, projects, cumulative exams? o What are you like in class? Do you like lab days? Class discussions? Class lectures? Reading texts? o Are you good at multi-tasking or concentrating on one thing at a time? Step Two: Know the Colleges (Program, Place, People, & Price!) Identify your priorities. What are the most important factors in your college decision? Carefully research the characteristics of a variety of schools. 2 Use available resources to begin or continue your college search. Use online resources such as Naviance. Attend college visits at MVHS and college fairs. Visit college campuses. o Program: What college has the best program for me as an individual? What do I want to study? o Place: Where do I want to study? Do you want to visit home frequently? Experience a new part of the country? Urban, suburban, small town? o People: With whom do I want to learn? Professors? Mentors? Networking? o Price: What is the total cost? What financial aid and scholarship opportunities are available? **Naviance or link through the MVHS home page. User name: Student ID Number (will be either 5 digits or 7 digits) Password: computer network password, the same password used for Pinnacle access **Metea s primary tool for career assessments, college profiles, college visit schedules, a scholarship database, college application tracking, course planning, and more.
