What is your best subject - what are your strengths and weaknesses in school?
What do you think you want to major in?
What kind of future do you see for yourself?
You don’t need to have everything figured out, but having direction helps. Focus on what you enjoy in school and what comes naturally to you: that’s your starting point.
From there, look into majors that align with those strengths and picture yourself in that path. Do you like what you see?
Which schools are you drawn into?
This can be determined by:
. How far do you want to be from home?
. Can you afford it (tuition, financial aid)?
. Where do you thrive (big or small school, city or campus)?
If you can, visit your options. Sign up for college tours and check out your options!
