With over 4,000 colleges and universities in the United States alone, the task of narrowing your list and finding a good fit can be daunting. The good news is that there are a variety of resources available to help you narrow your options WHILE taking your personal college search criteria into account. Below are some steps you can take to start identifying potential matches:

1. Login to your Naviance Student account

Use the SuperMatch College Search tool to find a list of colleges that match the criteria you identified earlier. Remember, it's OK if your criteria changes. This tool allows you to save different searches with different criteria!

2. Once you've created an initial list of schools that match your criteria, use the resources in your Naviance Student account to learn more about those colleges.

3. When you see colleges that you want to investigate even further or possibly visit, add those colleges to your "Colleges I'm thinking about" list in your Naviance Student account.

Remember that it's absolutely OK to add and delete colleges from your list as you continue to research schools!
