Thank you comment icon Hi Ethan - If you’re certain about your career path, prioritize colleges with strong programs and resources in your chosen field, as some careers (like engineering or nursing) require specific majors. If you’re undecided, choose a college with a variety of strong programs, opportunities to explore, and flexibility in declaring a major. Always consider factors like campus fit, location, and cost to ensure the college aligns with your overall goals and needs. Will Xue, CFA

Rebecca’s Answer

Thank you for your question. Different colleges have strength in different subjects. Firstly, you have to find out what careers you have interest. The relevant subjects are the major and minor you can focus to identify the suitable colleges.
Below are my suggestions:
1. Think about what you have interest, eg your hobbies, favourite subjects, etc and identify the related careers
Eg if you like music, would you like to be a musician, singer, musical artist, music composer, music producer, etc
If you have interest in maths, would you like to be an accountant, engineer, banker, financial analyst, maths teacher, etc
2. Find out more on these careers and determine what you have interest
3. Speak to someone who are working in these careers. Seek guidance from your mentor, school career counselor, your parents, etc
4. Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue. The relevant subjects are the major and minor you can consider
5. Explore the college review on these subjects and identify the college ls suitable to you
Hope this helps. Good luck!
May Almighty God bless you!
