Picking school that ostensibly ISN'T your 1st pick

Yep, happened to me! And if you’re a sophomore don’t worry, you’ve got plenty of options and plenty of time to narrow things down.

I first started looking at very selective colleges and at first they seemed so ideal and I got really excited about them, but then I started touring one of my current top schools and started changing my mind. Not sure if you’ve been able to tour anything yet but sometimes when you step on a campus you just get a feeling that it’s right for you, and it’s absolutely okay if that’s not what you thought would be your top choice. You’ll want to end up at a school and location that makes you happy and would give you the most opportunity to prepare yourself for your future.

Best of luck as you approach the application process!
