Overall Admissions

Ask a teenager to list all the colleges they know and you’ll learn much about the student – whether they follow sports, have a large family spread around the country, are influenced by the perceived prestige of schools, and more.

Using the Smart College Selection process means students become more effective consumers of college related information. They broaden their outlook considerably. They learn how to analyze their own needs, identify schools that meet those needs, and have the courage and confidence to follow their own pathway to college.

We’ve had students admitted to all the schools listed below. We hope there are schools on this list that you’ve never heard of – that means we are doing our job. Click on the schools to learn more – you'll definitely learn something new to add to the conversation!
