Are you curious how some colleges always make the Top 10? Are these schools really a good fit for your student? Join Collegewise on Thursday, May 30 at 5:00 PM PT / 8:00 PM ET to discover the truth behind 'top-ranked' schools and demystify the role of college rankings sites.  

Top-ranked colleges aren't always the best fit for your teen! 
Does your family use one of the many college ranking sites to determine which college is "the best?" Are you letting college rankings dictate your student's college choices? We've all done it.

However, not everyone knows how college rankings work and if those schools are actually good choices for their student. Join us to learn the realities of college rankings and why your family shouldn't solely rely on them for college research. 

In this webinar, our Collegewise counselors, Charlie, a former UCSD admissions officer, and Aaron, a veteran counselor who has worked with students in 20+ countries, will dive into:

• The realities and flaws of traditional college rankings sites.
• The current ranking metrics used by sites and the most major ones that are often overlooked.
• How to critically assess colleges and conduct effective school research and selection.
