We hope that by now you understand that making decisions carefully is very important. To make decisions rationally, you must:
- Identify your choices
- Develop objective decision-making criteria
- Evaluate your choices
The most critical decision you will make is that of selecting colleges to which you should apply. Balance your desire to attend the best colleges with your need for financial aid. Understand the criteria used for making admissions and financial aid decisions by the colleges. Take the time to do a thorough and careful job on your application and all admissions requirements.
