Dump a first list here. How to think about a balanced list is in how to build a college list. Score similar schools on the research scorecard. Assign Reach / Target / Likely on the assignment sheet. This page is the starter worksheet, not those jobs.
Juniors: use this dump to shape and test a working list. Early seniors: convert that working list into the final application list before you sequence essays.
Constraints (write these before names)
- Budget / expected net cost:
- Geography and setting:
- Size and learning environment:
- Major or program need (or undecided):
First names (8 to 12)
