This resource guides students through the process of categorizing potential colleges into safety, match, and reach categories, based on their academic profiles such as GPA and standardized test scores. It outlines a step-by-step approach that includes self-assessment of academic standings, researching colleges to understand their GPA/test medians, and categorizing selected schools accordingly. Students engage in reflection about their academic goals, analyze their dream school, and formulate a college search strategy. They are also encouraged to evaluate their choices in the context of realistic options and identify specific actions to advance their college search efforts.
