<p>I agree that you need to be educated and informed before you add/drop any more colleges–do some more research and really get to know the unique characteristics of each school. Read the Fiske’s Guide for objective (yet very rosy-colored and positive) information about each school but complement it with Insider’s Guide and College P r o w l e r (read that as one word, as CC censors it if I type it as one word without spaces) that actually have genuine student opinion from those who attend the school.</p>
<p>Also check out this website (but put the students review as one word, I can’t write it as one word or else CC censors it)–
www students review com</p>
<p>Sometimes bitter students like to go on there and rant about how their school stinks and screwed them over but a lot of them are positive too and offer insightful perspectives that you will find helpful. I know I checked out Rice’s and it really reinforced my excitement to go there this fall!</p>
