2024 Edition of Our Guide to Highly Selective Colleges
Is your student’s heart set on studying coding at MIT or earning an engineering degree at Stanford? Have they imagined themselves pursuing an interdisciplinary degree at Tufts or majoring in international business at USC? If so, your student is focused on the class of schools typically referred to as “highly selective”.
The simplest way to define selectivity is by the percentage of applicants who are admitted to a college and/or major. The lower the percentage, the more selective the school is. Early results show that highly selective schools may be even more competitive,
We are excited to share the 2022 edition of our College MatchPoint Guide To Highly Selective Colleges. This guide discusses what highly selective colleges look for in students, how to achieve "depth" in activities, and the importance of having a specific application strategy for the most selective schools.
