Welcome to The College project (Junior) with Kristi Steele.

We’ve all heard of students identifying their major(s) and building their university list, but how do you actually get there?

TRUTH TIME… Let’s bust some myths!

I should only apply to prestigious or well-known colleges

Many students believe that attending a prestigious or well-known college is essential for future success. While prestigious institutions can offer excellent opportunities, this myth overlooks several important factors:

  • Fit Over Prestige: The best college for a student is one that fits their academic, social, and personal needs. Factors like class size, campus culture, available majors, and support services can be more important than a school’s prestige, especially for TCK and International Students.
  • Success Beyond Name Recognition: Success is determined more by what students do during their college years—internships, research, networking, and extracurricular activities—than by the college’s name alone.
  • Financial Considerations: Prestigious schools often come with high tuition costs. It’s important to consider financial fit and the potential burden of student debt.

I need a long list of colleges to increase my chances of getting in

Some students think that applying to a large number of colleges will improve their chances of acceptance. However, this myth can lead to several issues:

  • Quality Over Quantity: A well-researched and thoughtful list of colleges where the student is a good fit will likely yield better results than a long, unfocused list. Quality applications tailored to each school’s specific requirements are more effective.
  • Application Fatigue: Managing too many applications can lead to burnout, rushed or lower-quality essays, and increased stress. Each application requires time and effort to complete thoroughly.
  • Application Costs: Each college application often comes with a fee, and these can add up quickly. Additionally, there are costs associated with sending standardized test scores and other documents.

Safety schools are not necessary if I have strong qualifications

Some students believe that if they have strong academic records and extracurricular achievements, they don’t need to apply to safety schools. This myth can be risky:

  • Admissions Uncertainty: College admissions can be unpredictable, and even highly qualified students may face rejection due to factors beyond their control, such as institutional priorities or yield protection.
  • Balanced List: A well-balanced college list should include reach, match, and safety schools. Safety schools ensure that students have options no matter the outcomes at more competitive institutions.
  • Unexpected Fit: Sometimes, a safety school can turn out to be an excellent fit, offering strong programs, financial aid, and a supportive community.

You’re in the right place.
