As we begin to wind up the 2018-19 college admission cycle, our seniors anxiously await their college application outcomes. Meanwhile, we have begun to think ahead to the next cycle of college admissions. Each year the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) produces an insightful report on the State of College Admission. Let’s dig into the college admission trends we observe in 2019.

Creating Your College List Using Data

Developing your college list is a challenging task. Many students who approach us at Empowerly aim to apply to 6 or 7 (or more) well-selected schools, and spread those across safety, target, and reach colleges. So how do most people create these lists today?

Some students create complicated spreadsheets. Some simply apply to colleges that are easily accessible—”schools that are geographically close, or that they’ve heard about from friends. Other students just guess, based on a vague impression.

But there’s a better strategy: one that will help you reduce your stress, find your best-fit campus, and put you on the road to success. Do those benefits sound good to you? Read on.
