Building a Balanced College List


  • San Rafael, CA 94901 (map)

Students are often busy with school, jobs, sports, and a myriad of social activities and it can be difficult to add searching for colleges on top of their daily or weekly schedule. In this 4-day camp, students will work in small groups under the guidance of the facilitator to identify the college factors that are most salient to them and build their own customized tool to evaluate campuses based on these criteria.

Groups will research schools and identify those most closely matching their individual preferences. Schools will be organized by Reach, High-Target, Target, Low-Target, and Safety schools (1-3 in each category) to develop a balanced list. Students will leave the workshop with an individualized, balanced college list, a timeline for next steps, and ideas of schools to visit through the spring and fall.

$600 per student ($550 for early bird registration), maximum 20 students; Recommended for Juniors in high school.
