College Search- Undergrads?

Before you can get into a top college or any college, for that matter, you have to decide where you want to apply. Deciding where to go to college is not easy. Conducing a college search can be the biggest decision that you and your parents make together.

There are some important factors for you and your parents to consider when doing a college search. Where you apply influences where you get in, and where you go to college can have a big impact on your career and future in general. One of the most important things to consider when doing your college search is: How Much Emphasis is Placed on Undergraduate Relations?

It is worth researching whether a university places a greater value on educating its undergraduate student body or those enrolled in graduate programs. Many colleges will be very forthcoming about their emphasis, and certainly students will know.

Since you are likely considering undergraduate programs, if you are reading this, you might want to ask if undergraduates have direct access to faculty or just teaching assistants (although TA’s are everywhere). You might be familiar with a school by its name and reputation, but find out if that reputation is more for its med. school or law school like Harvard or Stanford, or general liberal arts education like Yale.

As you may know, conducting a college search is only the first step in the college admissions process.
