Don’t Eat Off Other People’s Plates; Then Don’t Apply to Other People’s Schools!

You are not a carbon copy of your friends and your college list should not be a copy, either!

Your friend has their academic stats and strengths — and you have your own. Your cousin loved their extracurriculars and you enjoy completely different activities. Your father’s co–worker’s son is a country campus mouse and you are a city campus mouse. All these comparisons to say that you CANNOT and SHOULD NOT apply to certain colleges just because other people do.

How would you react to a parent exclaiming, “My daughter wants to change her college choice based on what her friends think of it!”

1) Who cares what her friends think? They have only 17 years’ experience in the world as she does and don’t know any more about anything than she does. But one thing she does know more than they do is about herself.

2) No matter her choice, those “friends” will be dispersed throughout the country. They won’t be holding her hands to all her classes and—

3) They won’t be paying her bills. How lucky for her that best fit and less debt coincide!

4) She doesn’t have to wait until she’s immersed her new life as a college freshman to mute and unfriend those critics; no time like the present!

5) Only SHE can live her life. She should not select a school based on what others think.

You need to find colleges that are best fits for you.

What Day Is It?

Okay PARENTS of HS Seniors, Juniors and even Sophomores — take a look at the school calendar. Depending on where you live and where you plan to go, it’s possible you might be able to tour some schools, or at least drive by or walk the campus grounds. Remember to keep notes so the schools don’t blend together… Don’t depend on your high schools to arrange trips this year; but even if there were to be trips, oftentimes demand may lead to the bus running out of seats, or restriction by grade. Regardless, there’s always virtual events and tours; check calendars for those dates as well.

Still Looking for a College? It May Not Be Too Late!

Instead of waiting until after May 1–National College Decision Day, two weeks earlier than usual, the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) released the list of colleges and universities that are STILL accepting applications.

“The NACAC College Openings Update provides options and assurances for students who have not yet found a college to attend this fall,” said Melissa E. Clinedinst, director of research and grants. “Because of the extraordinary disruptions of the past year, many terrific institutions are still seeking students for fall enrollment. Seeing this resource may help ease the college application stress that many students are experiencing.”

Check the NACAC site for colleges still accepting applications!

According to NACAC, the list was released two weeks early in mid-April “due to high demand” and will update the list shortly after colleges receive decisions from students who applied during the regular decision period. The list will be viewable until July. There were more than 770 schools on the list with open seats in 2020!

So what kinds of colleges and universities are on the list? Both public and private schools can be found, religious and secular, even schools with Division I athletics programs! The search filter makes it easy to find schools by state, and even by country. Interested in Aruba, Australia, Canada, France, Ireland or Japan? Or perhaps you may be interested in one of the 12 universities in the United Kingdom? American schools on the list go from Alfred University in New York to Xavier University in Ohio.

Good Apples NYC’s “Talking College Search” online course guides you to find a list of colleges that are the best fit for you. For less than the price of one application fee, take this course to help you figure out which schools on the list that still have openings. (Best to take the course BEFORE high school senior year in order to avoid the panic of finding a school after May 1).

To search the NACAC 2021 College Openings Update, go to nacacnet.org/openings.
