Hello,
Thanks for asking the question. Sometimes, the best college is not HYPSM, but another school that is a great fit for you. I personally picked Northeastern University for undergraduate studies due to excellent co-op opportunities with a lot of great firms, even though it is not the highest ranked institution. Sometimes, a good fit is more important than the school rankings.
Best of luck!
Thanks,
Johan

This is such a good point! I just wanted to chime in for anyone who may not know what HYPSM is. It stands for Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Stanford/MIT.

Hello Chelsea,
I'm curious to know, what are the areas you're keen on exploring, and how do you envision utilizing your degree once you've earned it? Your responses will guide us in identifying the curriculum that's most suitable for you. I always encourage students to thoroughly examine each program and its graduation prerequisites before making a commitment. If you're content with the journey and the milestones you'll have to reach throughout the course, everything else will naturally fall into place.
When I was in your shoes, applying for undergraduate programs, I faced a unique challenge. My parents, not being college graduates themselves, were unsure about the best ways to support me. Consequently, factors like the size of the school, its cost, and my parents' preferences had a significant influence. It wasn't until I felt restricted by the course structure that I realized I wasn't entirely satisfied.
When I considered transferring, I focused less on the label of the "major" or the title of the degree, and more on the learning outcomes and the knowledge I would gain along the way. This approach turned out to be a game-changer for me, and I maintained this perspective when selecting my master's and doctoral programs later on.

There isn't one single "best college" because the best college for you will depend on a number of factors, including your academic interests, budget, desired location, and preferred campus environment (urban, rural, suburban).
Here are some tips to help you find the best college for you:
Consider your academic interests: What do you want to major in? What kind of career are you interested in? Different colleges have different strengths in different academic areas.
Think about your budget: How much can you afford to pay for college? There are a variety of scholarships and financial aid options available, but it's still important to consider the overall cost of attendance.
Research different colleges: Once you have a general idea of what you're looking for, start researching specific colleges. You can visit college websites, attend college fairs, or talk to guidance counselors.
Consider your desired location: Do you want to go to college close to home, or are you open to going somewhere farther away? Consider factors like climate, cost of living, and proximity to internships or job opportunities in your field of interest.
Think about the campus environment: Do you prefer a large, research university or a small, liberal arts college? Do you want a school with a lot of diversity or a more homogeneous student body?
Visit colleges (if possible): The best way to get a feel for a college is to visit it in person. This will give you a chance to tour the campus, meet with faculty and students, and get a sense of the school's culture.

Hi Chelsea🤗
Before college a university, I recommend deciding what field you want to work in. Try to reduce their number to three.
•Write down what you want, what you can do - what your strengths are, what you need - what specialists are required in the labor market. It doesn’t matter that it will be difficult at first. Write it down first as you understand it.
•Talk to your parents about your fears and expectations. Even if they don’t understand the professions you are interested in, they will still help you. After all, these are adults with experience in making money.
•Talk to those who work in the field that interests you. Nowadays it’s not so difficult to find such a person among your friends or on the Internet in specialized communities. He will be able to tell you what a person in this profession actually does.
To choose a specific college, it is important to analyze basic factors: accreditation, conditions for state employees and commercial departments.

I think there are many ways to look at this! Both the quality of the education & the employment rate for graduates are both important.
Having an active alumni community doesn't hurt and asking alumni about their experiences can help shed some light.

All are good but if you want the best according to a certain criteria see internet sites that rank schools colleges or you can get a school according to what you want or like example you might not like to be in a big volleyed you might do better in a small one Aldo less completion gir you to excel also you might want a school that offers gender only education or yiu might want a gentrified school or you might want a musical school which might nit be the best one nir ranked but could be the best school for what you want follow what you want all else is relative best of luck
Hey A, What is a "gentrified school"?
Gurpreet Lally, Admin
Definition of gentrified according to the Oxford dictionary
refined, polite, or respectable.
"the club's gentrified supporters"
And make more refined, polite, or respectable.
"there has been an attempt to gentrify the game, making it more attractive to the middle class"
But if you need more clarification send me a message or maybe since you are a manager at career village please check in the continuous errors being made by the counter you have and I notified career village of it to no avail there is a need to have it corrected to be fair and correct and you time is probably better spent helping youth not falsely mischzracterining what someone wrote when you are wrong and some people like to go to schools that have a balance and variety of opinions

By the way you didn’t comment on Luke’s answer that stated the same thing I said
Luke stated

Thank you for the clarity! Another definition of gentrification is "(of a formerly poor urban area) changed in character by wealthier people moving in, improving housing, and attracting new businesses, typically displacing current inhabitants in the process.". Hence, I needed to confirm your meaning because I have never heard of a gentrified school. Overall, I think this is good advice. Learners SHOULD pick their school based on criteria that fit their needs. I did not mean to mischaracterize anything that was said, and I'm sorry that it came off that way!
Gurpreet Lally, Admin
I thank you for admitting your error but like you stated it also means is not what I stated it I used the word correctly as the dictionary stated too. Know what I write even if at times I try to help as many as I can I don’t know if your from a large city but in large cities there are all kinds all or majority one race or all majority minority or mixed or gentrified or diverse with about equal amounts of races for the total
Population some prefer the ones they went but it’s good yo have snd know the option is there by the way I know you meant to write FITS Lol just kidding thank you being fair in that response
