My College Finder ™ will give you a list of schools that match your
preferences according to type, size, location and competitive levels. You will
find the page numbers for each set of colleges matching your preferences in
Manual 1: Find My Colleges in 28 Minutes. Within each region,
particular schools are listed by states with neighboring states found next to
each other in My College Finder ™. Whether you are interested in a small college or large university; top
private or top public university, staying close to home or going across
country, a business school or art school, all-women's college or a medium sized
liberal arts institution, you will find a list of schools that suits you. And
most important, you will find only those schools where the odds of succeeding
are in your favor!
So for instance, the My College Finder ™ lists of "very competitive schools" contain schools that not only expect applicants to have relatively high GPAs and test scores, but are also schools that meet our standard of graduating at least 60% of their students and keeping at least 85% of their students into the second year.
More than 30% of students do not continue beyond their first
year at the college they entered after high school. This means
there are a lot of bad choices that can lead to a waste of
your time and money, not to speak of emotional upset and unhappiness.
The My College Advisor ® Kit reduces dramatically
the odds of your going to a college where you will be unsuccessful
and unhappy. There are two ways that My College Advisor ®
does this. First, it teaches students the factors that are
important in deciding which colleges are best for them and
provides a list of colleges matching these factors. Second,
My College Finder ™ eliminates from its lists colleges
and universities that have a culture of student failure where
30-40% or more do not return the second year and 50-80% do
not graduate. My College Advisor ® is concerned
not only about getting students into college but also about
what happens after they get there.
