FINDING YOUR COLLEGE FIT from College Fit Counseling “COLLEGE IS A MATCH TO BE MADE, NOT A PRIZE TO BE WON”
When envisioning your own college experience, what do you want? Consider the four different types of “fit” as you create your college application list. ACADEMIC FIT: Academics (including major/s): ____________________________________________________________
My ideal career after college: _____________________________________________________________
Academically challenged or academically comfortable? ________________________________________
Would you rather attend a college where you were fortunate to be admitted, where your credentials place you in the middle of the student body, or where your credentials qualify you for honors programs or merit scholarships? (Circle one) Classroom setting (small group discussion or larger lectures): ____________________________________ GEOGRAPHIC FIT: Location (campus community AND surrounding town/city): ______________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Any states outside of CO you would consider? __________________________________________________
