The transition from high school to post-secondary programs is a time filled with excitement and opportunity. The post-secondary planning is a process with a beginning, middle, and end. It requires planning, searching and finally applying.Â
It is important to practice patience and being present: this is a process that takes time, and also deserves time to research, explore, process, reflect and then make decisions. Approaching your post-secondary search process with this perspective will lead to better decision making. Because this process is very personal, it must begin with self-reflection and self-awareness. You must consider many things about yourself: goals, values, strengths, weaknesses, interests and rationale for your decision making. Then, consider the many criteria you will use in choosing which post-secondary option to pursue and what specific institutions to explore that is the right fit for you.
