<p>There seem to be many basic questions from students looking for college lists that match their interests, so I'm posting sources that have been helpful to us. (This will be elementary to many CC posters...). </p>
<p>Princetonreview.com - the Counselor-o-Matic feature can provide a list of matches based on GPA, SAT, location, major, etc. We've found, however, that their rank of Reach, Match and Safety schools are inaccurate; some of the matches are really reaches for my son.</p>
<p>Ruggs recommendations - provides lists/rankings of colleges by major. Available at many libraries or in school guidance offices. </p>
<p>Once you have your list, narrow it down by looking at and integrating info from the following:</p>
<p>US News & world report for statistics</p>
<p>Studentsreview.com - comments from students on schools, however this should not be used alone; see if comments match up with what you hear from other sources.</p>
<p>**************.com - requires a subscription, but gives detailed info and student comments on many facets of a school, as well as info on size, etc.</p>
<p>Other Books - Many books are available in libraries, guidance offices, etc. Or you can buy them. We like Insiders Guides (although can be out of date), Fisk guide etc.</p>
