Make sure you can be there to get any questions answered, listen to how all the 5 days come together.
 
Welcome to Day 4 of Building The Perfect College List!

In Days 1-3, you learned the importance of campus and online visits, how to find what schools consider to be “demonstrated interest,” and how to evaluate the fit of a school based on academic and non-academic factors such as athletics, financial aid, affordability, geographic location, and more.

Now in Day 4, we will discuss how to take your foundation to the next level.

We will be discussing college’s data sources:
How do you decide which to use?
What to look for vs. what to ignore
How do you know you can trust the data?


YOUR TASK FOR DAY 4 is to create your own spreadsheet, list the factors important to you and your student, and start researching the numbers.

Check out some of the data sources listed in the worksheet and fill in your spreadsheet.

We’ll be back in your inbox tomorrow to share the last step of the 5 Day Challenge!

And most importantly, don’t forget to block off your calendar to JOIN US TOMORROW NIGHT AT 8:30 PM EST for a full hour Q&A session with Debbie and Russ. 

We’re going to bring the whole process together, and answer as many specific questions as possible. This is your time to get your questions answered!
Don’t forget - Russ and Debbie will be LIVE tonight at 8:30 PM (EST) to answer any questions you have about today’s part of the challenge.

Keep up the great work!


-Debbie and Russ
