Best Fit, Best Match
Best Fit, Best Match
When creating the list of schools you want to apply to, it is important to consider match and fit:
Match refers to your grades, test scores, rank, and GPA compared to a college's admissions requirements/averages.
Fit refers to factors that align with your personal preferences and needs such as:
Majors and programs available
Location
Size
Cost
Clubs
Once you consider all the factors, start building a balanced list. A balanced college list contains a safe, a target, and a reach school.
Safe:
Your academic credentials (i.e. GPA and test scores) are above the school's range/average for admitted students
Reach:
Your academic credentials are at the lower end or below the school's range/average for admitted students
Target:
Your academic credentials are within the school's range/average for admitted students
Be sure to take note of the admissions deadlines and scholarship deadlines for each school you are interested in. At the bottom of the page, you can find a helpful worksheet!
