Student Review College Information Requirements

shared by Julia Rickner on 19 Sep 13 - No Cached

    This site allows you to look at reviews of colleges written by alumnis or attending students. This gives you a different perspective of that college. It also allows you to know things that college tours simply don't tell you. They also have scholarship opportunities that you can apply for. On top of that, you can see rankings of schools and research further into each school you are interested in. I have found this website very helpful in my college search, and I have even applied to a few scholarships on this site.

    College Prowler is a site that rates colleges and universities so that people who are going through the college process can navigate towards a better school. If you can't decide between two schools and you don't have the time to visit again, you can use this site to help make your decision!

    College Prowler is the website to use! Its a quick, easy, and free sign up process to gain access to all the website has to offer. Once you have an account, you can search any college you want and it will bring you to an information page. The college pages consist of student reviews, which in my opinion, are the most reliable source! You can look through individual tabs such as summary, about the school, about the students, about the campus and about the location. Under each of these tabs are an abundance of information and reviews that help you fully understand the college. The best tool on College Prowler is the Applicant Status. With this tool you can plug in your GPA and SAT/ACT scores, and it will place you among statistics showing people admitted, denied, wait listed, and attending. It is a great way to see where you stand in terms of college admittance!

    This site has a unique layout. It allows you to search for a college and look at it's statistics, look at its average financial aid package, and see application requirements for admission. This site was super helpful to me because I realized I couldn't apply to one of my colleges because I hadn't done all of the application requirements for that specific school.
  • Caitlin Davis on 05 Nov 13
     
    You can also compare three different colleges at once when searching for colleges, which is pretty nice because you can see how they stack up to each other.

    The college board website has been very helpful throughout my exploration. The website lets you search colleges, and shows you only the important nuggets of information, without the hassle of combing though the colleges website.

College Requirements ACT SAT Deadlines

shared by Julia Rickner on 19 Nov 13 - No Cached
  • Julia Rickner on 19 Nov 13
     
    This source was a treasure to find. Flipping from college website to college website in attempt to figure out all their individual requirements was a nightmare. Frustrated, I searched "college requirements" and found this gem of a website! Prep Matters is very simply a list of colleges and their testing and deadline requirements. It is organized in alphabetical order and lists the college or universities SAT scale, optional test and super scoring policies, ACT requirements, subject test requirements, whether or not the college is on Common App, and all early action/decision and regular admission deadlines. I think my favorite part of this website, however, is the ability to 'click' the college you are interested in, and it takes you directly to the college's homepage. The only downfall of this source is it does not have all colleges!

College Comparison Research

  • Julia Rickner on 19 Nov 13
     
    Many people have heard about and used the College Board website to help with college prep. However, I thought I would share this one tidbit of a tool that is within College Board called "Compare Colleges." This is a tool that you plug in any three colleges and it will line their information up next to each other. This information includes; name, location, type (private/public), campus life (how many students, rural/suburban/city, size), admissions (selectivity, requirements, score ranges), and cost and aid. This was a great way to see the colleges I was interested in without having to pull the information from their separate websites.

College Research Tips Student Opinions

shared by Julia Rickner on 19 Nov 13 - Cached
  • Julia Rickner on 19 Nov 13
     
    Unigo is another great college research source. I particularly like this sight because its focus is on the opinions of students attending the college, with less insight from the college itself. The information I found on Unigo was honest, with both good and bad responses about my college. It was a great way to look at my "dream schools" from a different point of view through comments, photos, and videos. Unigo has a really great, straightforward college search that narrowed down my top colleges. Also, Unigo had great tips on college essay writing, and filling out applications.

    Again, another great tool for college research. This site is very organized. Though it shares a lot of the same qualities as other college research sources (finding a college, scholarship chances, admission chances, etc.) my favorite part of it is how organized the student reviews are. Through Cappex, you can choose one of your favorite colleges, and see one students review of the school in entirety, then scroll down and see the next students review of the school. It is organized in a way that you can see clearly multiple students opinions about the same area of the college. Cappex is easy to navigate, and another strong source to use for college research.

    The Common Application is a website that helps with the process of applying to college and over 500 colleges accept the Common Application. On this website there are options that have prompts for writing your college essay and ways to research and look at colleges that you might be interested in. The Common Application has a range of topics for your college essay that are one's that really get you writing about yourself.

    A top college in the area, Dean College offers both Associate and Bachelor's degrees on its Franklin, Massachusetts campus. This is a website where I have spent a lot of time because this is the school I will be attending in the fall. Dean is a great, small, liberal arts college!

College Research Communication Opinion

    I know this seems like an anti productive sight to be using for college planning and research, but for me (and potentially you!) Facebook is a great source! Facebook provides an easy way to communicate with people about college. Personally, I talked with students attending the colleges I was researching, and had the ability to easily plan visits with them on campus! I used the site to follow my friends college experience through their Facebook profiles, pictures, and chats. Facebook is a source to take advantage of in a positive way to research and choose colleges.

    This website allows you to make a profile, practice writing from prompts, and do stuff that colleges will be interested in seeing when applying to college. This is a very helpful tool when going about the process of applying to any colleges.
  • Caitlin Davis on 05 Nov 13
     
    A lot of colleges also accept the common app in lieu of other application types, so always check and see if your college is on that list. It could cut down on the time you spend on applications if you find out the college accepts the common app.

    Although this site is another college rating site, I found this site to be more helpful than any of the other college rating sites I have visited. I like the layout of this website way more than the others and it also categorizes colleges which is kind of cool, (ie. hipster colleges, 50 shades of cray...ect.)
