UTILIZING NAVIANCE

We asked several college freshman what advice they’d give to high school juniors going through the application process and here are some of our favorites.

“Don’t dismiss a college based on its sticker price. Many schools, especially private ones, have opportunities to receive grants.”

“I didn’t realize that colleges tracked my Internet presence when I was applying to their schools. They recommend joining their social media pages: Instagram, Facebook, etc. The more I participated digitally, the more connected I appeared. The colleges want students that show interest in their schools.”

Mia

“Don’t pretend to be a perfect student, just be genuine. Schools want to see real people who survive failures. They want students who make mistakes and learn from them.”

Jamie

“Making a decision is hard. It was really helpful for me to have a Zoom call with one of the potential professors in my major. It made me realize what it would be like to be in that academic environment.

Chris

“I wish I knew that I could appeal a college’s financial offer. You can reach out to a school and ask them to review the package they presented. Use your other college offers as a bargaining tool. It can’t hurt to ask!”

Brendan

Be sure to take advantage of the college readiness programs your high school offers. Your school counselors should have a list of webinars to attend.

“Don’t apply to colleges that you don’t actually want to attend. It can be a waste of time and money so find ones that you really like and focus on those.“
