Myth #2

There is only one college that is exactly right for me.

In the US there are over 4,000 viable post-secondary options. 30 or more may match your exact criteria! There is no ‘perfect school’ out there; each has advantages and disadvantages, and any number of schools could be a great match for you! A lot can change in the 9 + months it has taken you to compile your college list, submit your applications and receive all of your decisions. With so many colleges to choose from – we can be confident that you could be happy at a number of choices. College is going to be what YOU make of it! Compromise is part of good decision-making. Sometimes we can’t have everything we originally wanted, but that does not mean we can’t have anything. Hopefully, we can be resilient enough to de-invest in the original choice, process the disappointment, and redirect our energies toward another worthy option.
