Intro to the College Search: Building Your Best-Fit List

With over 3,000 four-year colleges in the U.S., starting the college search can feel overwhelming. While many families begin by looking only at familiar household names, the key to a successful admissions journey lies in identifying schools that align with your unique personal, academic, and financial goals. This process often requires looking beyond brand recognition to evaluate true college fit.

Join IvyWise admissions counselors Abdiel (formerly at Harvard University) and Katie (formerly at the University of Notre Dame) as they provide an essential roadmap for kicking off your college search with clarity and confidence. Our experts will guide you through identifying key priorities and researching institutions effectively, providing you with actionable strategies to curate a balanced, thoughtful college list of schools you’ll love.

We will provide all registrants with a link to the recording of the webinar after the event.
