1. How do I get into my dream school?
Students often say, “Since I was very young, my life dream has been to go to [insert name of school here] University.” If this is the case then you are not dreaming big enough. Dream schools are institutions that will help you reach your dreams, not a destination you dream of going to. That is why we prefer the term "school of best fit." A school of best fit is the college or university that will provide you not only with the academic and social environments in which you will thrive, but also with the opportunities and resources you will need in order to achieve your goals after earning your college degree.
This is not to say that you won't reach your dreams if you don't get into your school of best fit; in fact, many universities and colleges may satisfy the criteria you've set for your dream school. This suggests that many schools will be able to provide you with a path to reach your goals. Therefore, the best way to find your school of best fit is to figure out what your dreams are. This may sound obvious to some, but it can be a difficult task for many people.
For now, try to make a general plan about where you want to go in life, what you hope to accomplish, both big and small. This will help you determine the path to take in order to reach these goals. After that, it all becomes a matter of personal preference. Do I want to go to a large school or a small school? Do I want to live in a large city or a small city? What kind of weather do I like? What kind of food will be served in the cafeteria? You can find answers to all these questions online starting with school websites. There are also numerous other websites dedicated to helping students learn more about colleges and universities, as well as American education in general.
If you want examples of these types of websites, we suggest you view our online course materials at Schoology.com. There you will find ADS videos and other materials that will help you answer questions not only about school research and best fit, but also about the entire college application process. To find out how to register for a Schoology account and access our ADS materials, you may ask either your Foreign Consultant or your local Chinese Consultant and they will show you how.
