All right,

April. So the next question is, "How do decide which schools to apply to and how many colleges should I apply to?"

Great question. So when you're looking at different schools,

there are a few factors that you want to consider along the way. You are definitely going to be hearing all of

these really popular and well-known schools out there.

But you're gonna want to make sure that it's a good fit for you. So the first thing to look at would probably be your academic

program. Does that institution offer what you want to study? And it also might have the name of the program you want to study,

but it might not include all of the experiences that you're looking for. So do a little bit of research.

Find out what that program is like, what types of experiences

are you going to get? What type of advising are you going to get if you're really

set on doing an internship? Is that something that they really help to

assist you in, in landing that type of position later down the road as you're in college?

So do a little bit of research in that area.

You're also going to want to, you know, figure out,

What are you looking for in terms of experiences on that college campus? Are you interested in doing research?

Do you want to do a study abroad program?

Where do you want to do your study abroad program?

That's a big thing too. Not every institution offers the same types of programs or in the same locations.

Also,

you know, are there certain activities that you want to be involved in? Are there specific

leadership roles that you want to have experience in? All of these things can vary from campus to campus.

So make sure that you're trying to learn about what those opportunities are going to be for you at that institution.

Another great thing to keep in mind, of course, because in the long run

you're going to college to help you prepare for your career, is looking at those types of resources as well.

So do they have a Career Center? And what types of

assistance do they provide? Are they really going to help you with, you know, your resume, with your interviews?

Do they have the career fairs set up for you already?

How does that type of advising work out as well. So that will vary from campus. So,

make sure you find the right fit for you. In terms of how many schools to apply to,

again, you're gonna hear a lot of different

types of advice in that area.

I would say the general number, or around the number you want to shoot for, is about five schools.

Typically they say that you want to have the schools that you know that you are more likely to be admitted to, a reach school

and then a safety school, as well.

So it's gonna vary from each person based on what your interests are and how many schools you've also, you know, looked into,

liked and are still deciding between. But you want to have a good number of schools

so you can, in the end, make that decision your own.

Counselor Q&A: How many times should I take the SAT or ACT? - Duration: 1:00.

Charles, "How many times should I take the ACT or SAT?" Good question. I get this a lot, and I know we get this in the office,

at college fairs, and when students and parents call us. I think it's really up

to the student. Generally speaking, if you're able to I think taking it, you

know, multiple times is fine. But typically, we do see students

improve slightly if they take it a second time. But we very rarely see huge

differences in scores, and I've seen students who have taken it—let's just

say quite a few times. At some point it's probably not worth it to take

it, you know, five, six, seven times. But I think twice is fine. If you want to take

it, three times? Great. But many students apply and get admitted with only

taking it once, so it's really an individual decision. How satisfied are

you with your score? But I'd say the average is probably two.
