ELEANOR ROOSEVELT ONLY USES THE FOLLOWING COLLEGE APPLICATION PLATFORMS TO PROCESS TRANSCRIPTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

• NAVIANCE (MATCHED WITH COMMON APP)

• BLACK COMMON APP

• SENDEDU

• SOME COLLEGES HAVE THEIR OWN PLATFORM LIKE, I.E., GEORGETOWN, MIT - (YOU WOULD HAVE TO APPLY DIRECTLY TO THEIR PLATFORM - THEN A LINK WILL BE SENT TO THE COUNSELOR TO UPLOAD DOCUMENTS DIRECTLY IN THE PLATFORM)

YOU CAN COMPLETE COLLEGE APPLICATIONS VIA COALITION OR OTHER PLATFORMS BUT ERHS ONLY SENDS DOCUMENTS VIA PLATFORMS ABOVE! 

YOU MUST CHECK WITH THE COLLEGE ON HOW THE COLLEGE CAN RECEIVE DOCUMENTS FROM YOUR HIGH SCHOOL!

The internet is a great place to start your college research, in particular, a college’s official website.

Unfortunately, not all college websites are created equally, but there are some essential things that should be available to you, regardless of how aesthetically pleasing the site is.

To help you avoid being sucked into the depths of the internet digging for info, here is a list of those essentials. Happy researching!

1. Google Search and Find the College/University you are interested in

2. Find Campus visit information

Check out when tours are offered, how you sign-up, what you can see etc. I 110% recommend visiting as many college campuses as you can (within reason). This will give you the opportunity to experience the campus with all of your senses and see if you can picture that campus as your alma mater. Chances are your tour guide will be a current student, so feel free to pick his or her brain about what student life is like. Feel free to ask all of the questions that you have; trust me, they’ve heard them all.

3. Find Virtual campus tour

Virtual campus tours are helpful when you are making your initial list of colleges to visit. If you absolutely can’t make it physically to a campus tour, definitely check out the virtual campus tour. Although it’s not the real deal, it will still provide good insight. If after the virtual tour you decide to put this college on your list, make sure to connect with an admissions counselor to talk about the application process and get all of your questions answered.

4. List of majors

This is especially important if you have a specific major in mind, like Forensic Science for example, that may not be offered at every college. If you are still deciding between a few majors, you want to make sure all the majors you are considering are available there as well because it’d be sad to fall in love with your college and then have to transfer later on because your major isn’t offered.

5. Net Price Calculator (NPC)

Let’s be real, money can be a huge determining factor in where you will attend. Luckily, every college website will have a Net Price Calculator. This is a handy tool that will provide you an estimated out-of-pocket cost of attendance based on your family’s current financial situation. Some NPC’s are more comprehensive than others, so just be aware that the NPC shouldn’t be used as a substitute for applying for financial aid. If you are truly interested in a college, I highly recommend going through the entire admission and financial aid process to see what can be offered.
