What the Supreme Court’s Affirmative Action Ban Means for College Admissions 1
Race is no longer a factor that can be intentionally considered in the college admissions process
by Sarah Wood
WHETHER COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES should consider race or ethnicity as part of the admissions process has been widely debated in higher education for decades. However, the fate of affirmative action based on race was officially sealed June 29, 2023 after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the deliberate use of race by schools in college admissions by deeming such practices at both Harvard University in Massachusetts and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill unconstitutional.
The high court originally heard these challenges to race-conscious admissions in October 2022 in two cases. The lawsuits argued that admissions policies that take race into consideration discriminate against Asian American applicants and, in the case of UNC, also white students.
Experts say the ruling will have far-reaching implications for diversity on college campuses and in the workforce pipeline. “Fifty years since the passage of civil rights legislation has not been nearly enough to address or correct more than 350
years of discriminatory practices intended to keep people of color away from higher education institutions or, starting in the 19th century, severely limit their prospects of increasing their educational attainment,” Mildred García, chancellor of California State University, said in a statement at the time.
Here’s some history on race-conscious admissions and what could lie ahead for colleges and applicants.
What Is Affirmative Action?
In a higher education context, affirmative action – which stemmed from the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s – is the practice of considering some student background characteristics, such as race, as a factor in deciding whether to admit an applicant. Schools that engaged in affirmative action were more often selective colleges, which recognized that there is unequal access to education opportunities in the U.S., says Katharine Meyer, a fellow in the governance studies program for the Brown Center on Education Policy at the Brookings Institution.
“Students’ exposure to high-quality schools and the kind of
preparation necessary to gain admission is unequally distributed across ZIP codes,” she says. “So affirmative action is one way to contextualize the opportunities that a student had during their K-12 experience and the disadvantages in access to high-quality teachers and high-quality advisers that they may have had during high school.”
How Affirmative Action Has Played a Role in College Admissions
The use of racial quotas, in which colleges reserve a designated number of spots for students based on their race and admit them exclusively on that basis, was ruled unconstitutional in the 1978 Supreme Court case Regents of the University of California v. Bakke. The court determined that such practices violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
Until June 2023, the high court had consistently ruled that race may be considered along with other factors in the admissions process based on a “compelling interest” – the ed-
ucational benefits of fostering a diverse student body on college campuses. College admissions officers say they review applications through a holistic process, also paying attention to academic records, course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays and letters of recommendation.
There’s long been public skepticism of these policies, however. In a 2019 Pew Research Center survey, 73% of American adults said colleges should not consider race or ethnicity as part of a college’s admissions decisions. Four years later, American public opinion was more mixed: half of adults said race should not be considered and about one-third said they approve of affirmative action policies. About 16% said they’re unsure.
Post-decision, 68% of Americans said they believe the Supreme Court’s ruling is “mostly a good thing,” according to a recent Gallup Center on Black Voices survey. However, half of Black
Students on the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill campus on the day of the ban
adults – the highest percentage of all racial groups sampled – said the ruling will have a mostly or slightly negative effect on higher education in the U.S.
Critics have previously argued that race-conscious admissions amounts to racial discrimination, harming white and Asian American students. Many conservatives against racial preferences in college admissions have pointed to former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s statement in the 2003 Grutter v. Bollinger ruling involving the University of Michigan—Ann Arbor Law School: “We expect that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today.”
In the court’s 2023 opinion, Justice Neil M. Gorsuch concurred that “Harvard and UNC choose to treat some students worse than others in part because of race. To suggest otherwise – or to cling to the fact that the schools do not always say the quiet part aloud – is to deny reality.”
But many in higher education denounced the decision. It “will have negative consequences for all Americans and diminish our society’s economic and social development,” García said in a statement. “The civil rights movement inspired the development of this life-altering policy that has supported all students since the late 1960s. We must not lose the important ground that has been gained. We must not revert to an inequitable society.”
What Does This Ban Mean for College Admissions?
The Supreme Court has heard several race-conscious admissions cases since Bakke. The two cases resolved in 2023 were spearheaded by Edward Blum, a conservative legal activist who opposes the consideration of race and ethnicity in the U.S. and who helped bring a similar but ultimately unsuccessful challenge to the Supreme Court in 2016 in Fisher v. University of Texas.
Prior to the most recent ruling, nine states had banned affirmative action at public colleges and universities. California, for instance, voted to ban affirmative action more than 25 years ago. Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Washington also previously banned the practice.
To ensure diversity on campus without affirmative action, some colleges chose to automatically admit a certain percentage – often the top 10% – of a high school’s graduating class. “I think these policies do increase the racial and socioeconomic diversity of particularly the flagship institutions in a state,” Meyer says. “But when comparing them against the decline in socioeconomic and racial diversity that happens after affirmative action is banned in a state, they aren’t able to overcome the loss in diversity from banning affirmative action.”
For instance, a 2020 study – which examined 19 public universities in states that had affirmative action bans starting around the mid-1990s – found that the number of Black, Hispanic and Native American students enrolled at the nine surveyed flagship universities was 11.2 percentage points less than the share of high school graduates from these demographic groups in the states where the schools are located. This gap rose to 13.9 percentage points immediately after the
ban and, by 2015, to 14.3 percentage points.
Some research indicates that diversity benefits all students. A 2019 study by the American Council on Education, most recently updated in 2024, indicates a correlation between racial and ethnic diversity in education and the workforce, and greater productivity, innovation and cultural competency.
College is an opportunity for students to hear from people who have different views, says Christopher Rim, CEO and founder of Command Education, an admissions consulting company. “You want a diverse opinion. You want people who have different experiences than you. I think that’s going to be lost,” says Rim. “But at the same time, you want to be able to get into a school because of your merit, not because of your race,” he adds. “There are too many students who are ‘similar’ or have very similar academic and extracurricular activities. So there’s no way to really say what the right decision is.”
And another potential effect of the ban: the reconsideration of athletic recruiting, which tends to favor white applicants, particularly at elite schools.
How Colleges Are Responding to the Ban
Experts predict that colleges may increase outreach in communities of color and rural areas in response to the Supreme Court’s decision.
For example, Towson University in Maryland – which had not used race as a factor in its admissions decisions – has implemented other strategies over the years to enroll and retain more students of color. This includes going test-optional; focusing student recruitment in certain areas of the state, like Baltimore; spending more than 50% of their aid on need-based grants; and having resources in place to help with the college transition, says Boyd Bradshaw, the school’s vice president for enrollment management.
As of spring 2024, 43% of students are white, 30% are Black, 10% are Hispanic and 7% are Asian. The three minority figures are a slight increase over the prior year. “We do benefit from being in the state of Maryland, which is also a very diverse state,” Bradshaw says. “We believe we have the mechanisms in place currently in order to be successful.”
Some colleges are reevaluating legacy admissions policies, which give a preference to the children of alumni and donors and therefore advantage students who already come from advantaged backgrounds. “I think we were already started seeing a downward trend with legacy admissions to begin with, just over the past three to four years,” Rim says. “But with this ruling, legacy admissions is really going to start not having much of a factor in admissions.” Certain states, like Virginia and Maryland, have taken legal action to prohibit public colleges from considering legacy status in admissions. In 2021, Colorado became the first state to ban the practice.
However, the court has left a gray area when it comes to understanding race in the context of a student’s life. “They note applicants might reference race in their essays and colleges could consider students experience of discrimination in their holistic review of essays, but that such consideration must be done at an individual level,” Meyer says. “This ambiguity likely leaves room for future legal challenges around exactly how colleges strike this delicate balance.” l

Are You College? Ready for 1
Self-discipline and healthy habits are signs of emotional readiness for college
by Cole Claybourn
FOR MANY AMERICAN STUDENTS, pursuing a college degree is the next step after graduating high school. But not all who start end up finishing. About one in four students who enter college in the fall do not return to any U.S. college the following fall, according to research from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center.
These students may not return to school for a number of reasons, from dealing with financial concerns to having a change of heart about their choice of college. But some may not show up for their sophomore year because they find the adjustment from high school to college to be difficult. That’s why before students make that transition – and potentially start accumulating debt – they should consider whether they’re academically and emotionally ready for the change.
“Adolescents can gauge if they’re emotionally ready for college by taking an honest look at their self-management habits, including how they respond to stress, how they manage multiple deadlines in a given week and how they seek help when struggling,” says Lindsey Giller, a clinical psychologist with the Child Mind Institute.
Assessing Your Self-Discipline
Deciding whether or not you are ready for college often comes down to having “an awareness of how disciplined you are and how much structure you need,” says Andrew Belasco, chief executive officer of College Transitions, a college admissions consulting company.
For some students, college is the first time they will be living away from home. Without the structures of high school and family, the responsibility to attend class, complete school work and meet deadlines falls on their shoulders.
While many adolescents welcome this newfound freedom, it can be anxiety-producing for those who feel insecure in their ability to manage stress on their own, Giller says. This is particularly true when students come from homes where they feel like their behavior is micromanaged by their parents or guardians, she says.
Students must be able to prioritize tasks and develop study strategies on their own, says Monica
Jones, college and career readiness coach at Frederick Douglass High School in Lexington, Kentucky. “If they don’t have those essential skills, they’re not going to have the maturity that they need to have to be successful in college,” she says.
Friends can help you reflect on whether college is right for you.
Additionally, considering that part of the college experience is the social aspect, creating social boundaries is a crucial skill for college success, experts say. “I think college, for a lot of kids, is going to be the first time that they have temptations like, ‘Do I miss class when everyone is doing something else and I want to join them?’” says Colleen Paparella, founder of DC College Counseling. “’Do I want to go out tonight even though I have an 8 a.m. class tomorrow?’”
Students who might struggle with this should decide what type of school is best for them, Paparella says. Smaller schools with smaller class sizes will allow for more intimate settings and accountability. On the other hand, larger schools with big lectures make it easier to skip out on class and not feel that accountability, she says.
Habits of a College-Ready Student
In general, Giller says, the more independent a student is leading up to college, the more prepared they will likely feel once they get there and face inevitable stressors and other emotions. But a student’s health habits can also play a major role in signaling whether they’re ready for college.
“Adolescents who already practice healthy habits to care for their physical and mental health by getting adequate sleep, eating balanced meals and getting exercise are more likely to employ these strategies in their new environments,” Giller explains. “These practices can help keep stress manageable and prevent future episodes of depression and anxiety from occurring.”
Giller says parents can help prepare their students by giving them more independence in the years leading up to college. “This also means when faced with a problem, allowing teens to problem-solve rather than having the parent swoop in to fix the situation for them,” she says.
What if I’m Not Ready Right Now?
Some students experience burnout by the end of their high school career, Belasco says. When deciding if they’re ready for
college, students should reflect on why they’re going –and consider if it’s externally or internally motivated.
“The students that really do well in college, whether they’re super high-achieving or not, are ones that really have come to terms with why they’re learning, why they’re pursuing some of the things they’re doing,” says Belasco. “Yes, they’re doing it in part for the degree and in part for the grade, but there has to be something else there.”
If students don’t know that answer and want to take time to figure it out, they have a variety of options,
Finding the Best Fit
Consider how schools match up with your academic, social and financial preferences
CHASE DUSEK TOOK his college search seriously. He started his research the summer after his sophomore year, turned to an outside counselor for help, went on a whopping 26 college tours and – most importantly – took time to soulsearch about exactly what he wanted in a school. He really enjoyed the small humanities program in his public high school, and realized he wanted to find that kind of experience in college. “I learned I loved interaction and engagement with the teacher and classmates,” he says. That impetus – as well as prioritizing an academically challenging environment and the opportunity to participate in Greek life – ultimately led him to Ohio Wesleyan University.
There are plenty of obvious factors in a college search: large or small, urban or rural, public or private. But at the end of the day, schools need to be a fit academically, socially and financially, says Maria Furtado, associate director of college counseling at The Bay School of San Francisco. CONSIDER HOW YOU LEARN BEST. A good academic fit includes strength in the major that you are considering, interesting classes and programs within that major and an appropriate level of challenge, says Furtado.
Jayne Caflin Fonash, an independent education consul-
like joining the military, attending a trade school or taking a gap year. During a gap year, students can travel, work or volunteer. This extra time may allow students to determine if college is right for them, figure out what they want to study if they do eventually go to college and grow personally.
“It gives them a chance to be independent, chart their own path and not feel like they’re on a path that everyone else is setting for them,” says Mandee Heller Adler, founder of International College Counselors. “They have the opportunity to take some time
tant in Potomac Falls, Virginia, and the past-president of the National Association for College Admission Counseling, agrees that it’s important to find a place where you have a good chance of thriving academically: “You want to be challenged and to grow, but you don’t want to be overwhelmed.” She also advises making sure there are opportunities beyond your chosen major in case you end up changing focus.
Additionally, think about what kind of learning environment you want, and not only in terms of
to figure out who they are versus who everyone else wants them to be.”
While a gap year can be a good option for some students, Belasco says that others may have difficulty returning to “the structure and setting of academia” after their year away from the classroom. Just like it’s important to figure out why you’re going to college, students should also determine why they’re taking a gap year, he advises.
If students are considering a gap year, they should go through the college application process during
class size or format. Experiential education, in the form of outside internships or co-ops (work experience integrated into the curriculum) or on-campus research with professors, can be just as important. On a campus visit, you may want to consider sitting in on some classes in your areas of interest. Seeing how faculty members engage students and how students interact with each other can tell you a lot, says Stefanie Niles, president at Cottey College in Nevada, Missouri. And dig deep into what really matters to you. For example, to see how seriously
high school as if they’re planning to enroll right away, Heller Adler says. That’s because completing a college application with the help of school counselors and teachers is much easier than doing it alone later. If accepted, students can then defer enrollment and attend the following year or semester.
Not only can that be the best move for the student, but it often also works out well for the college, says Heller Adler. “I believe colleges would prefer a kid who doesn’t come if they’re not totally ready than one who comes and has issues.” l
schools took research opportunities, Dusek looked up academic publications by professors and then checked to see if any undergrads were co-authors.
GET SOCIAL. Social and personal fit is another key component. “Will you find your people? Will you find your next set of really good friends?” says Furtado. Again, campus visits can be extremely helpful, but don’t just stop with the tour. Prospective students can also eat in the dining hall, go to an on-campus event, read bulletin boards for information on student activities and check out the residence halls.
You can also explore the college’s town or city by walking around and checking the local chamber of commerce or visitor’s website. This can give you a sense if it’s a place you can see yourself living in. Other virtual sources of information: the school’s community events calendar and alumni magazine, which can give you a peek into what people do after they graduate.
CRUNCH THE NUMBERS. Financial fit is the third key component. “Families need to spend more time talking candidly together about cost,” says Emmi Harward, executive director of the Association of College Counselors in Independent Schools. That means using online calculators to figure out exactly what your financing options are and how much debt your family is willing to take on, she says.
Fonash suggests checking out data for average salaries in your possible post-collegiate career field to get a reality check about what you can afford to borrow. Find out if merit-based aid – grant money keyed to academic achievements or special talents – is an option.
Experts advise figuring out the factors that are most important to you, and then keeping an open mind. If your priorities point you toward schools that you didn’t expect or whose names you don’t recognize, investigate them anyway, suggests Harward.
And don’t rely entirely on your first impression. Dusek’s first visit to Ohio Wesleyan didn’t wow him, but he was sold by his second visit, when he sat in on a macroeconomics class and was “blown away” by the professor. Dusek even went on to work as an Ohio Wesleyan lobby host, where he checked in prospective students and hoped that they, too, would find a great fit.

College Visit Effective
Visiting a college can help a student determine where to spend the next four years
by Cole Claybourn and Ryan Lytle
FOR BOTH students and families, experiencing a campus in person is an important part of the college application process. Admissions professionals recommend scheduling campus visits to get a better feel for the schools and to determine if it’s a good fit.
“They are very likely to show you things that you didn’t know you cared about. That’s a great first step,” says Rachel Rubin, co-founder of admissions consulting company Spark Admissions. “It’s really important for families to think about what they want to know.”
The College Board recommends spring of junior year as a good time to visit campuses for students who have already done the research on those colleges. Late summer and early fall before senior year are also convenient times, the College Board website notes, adding that classes may already be in session, allowing prospective students a fuller glimpse of campus life.
Another point to consider when deciding whether or
not to schedule a visit, is that some colleges even track whether prospective students make an in-person visit and count it as “demonstrated interest,” which could help admissions chances.
To truly maximize your college visit, there are steps you can take beyond going on a basic tour of the campus. Here’s how to get the most out of your time at a potential school.
Ask questions.
A campus visit is a great chance to not only see the campus, but also to ask questions about the school and what the experience is like on campus. While some information can be found on a school’s website, speaking with student ambassadors or school officials while visiting campus can provide additional information to help you make a smart college decision.
“I think the best way to make the most of the tours is to ask a lot of good questions of the tour guide and to engage with any current students to get their opinion on life on the campus,” says Satyajit Dattagupta, chief enrollment officer and senior vice chancellor at Northeastern University in Massachusetts.
Get student perspectives.
Talking to current students is a valuable part of vetting a college and can provide prospective students with unfiltered thoughts about the school and the student experience. They’ll likely have opinions to share on academics, facilities, dining services, student life and more.
“Talk to as many students as you can to get a flavor of the student population,” says Liz Doe Stone, president and senior private counselor for Top Tier Admissions, an admissions consulting company. “Email students from your high school who attend that school and ask to get together for coffee when you’re on campus.”
Explore campus media before you visit.
“The more that you can do ahead of time to get to know the campus culture so that you can ask good questions to current students, that’s another great way to get a more authentic sense of what’s going on or what it would be like to be a student there,” Stone says. This allows visiting students to find out what issues are popular on campus, controversies happening, new programs being created, what students are excited about and trends to be aware of, Stone continues.
Student newspapers can be a valuable source of insight into what’s happening at and around a college. But don’t stop there. The College Board’s campus visit checklist also recommends tuning in to the campus radio station and reading their literary reviews and department newsletters.
Visit academic departments.
Learn about the local community.
While the college is the main attraction, students shouldn’t overlook the surrounding community where they may live and work when off campus. Take time to discover coffee shops, restaurants and other places you might enjoy visiting frequently, and consider how the community might factor into your education aspirations, says Kent Hopkins, vice president for academic enterprise enrollment at Arizona State University. Determine whether the community will provide internship or externship opportunities or serve as a potential career launch pad, he says. Palmer adds that students should also consider whether they’re looking for an urban or rural experience, or what size city they prefer.
Visit a dining hall or student center.
The college dining hall tends to be a community hub where students congregate to study or meet for clubs. Experts recommend that students and families should plan to eat at least one meal on campus to get a sense of available food options and other amenities.
Talking to current students is a valuable part of vetting a college.~
A great way to start can be touring facilities, sitting in on a class and meeting professors. This is a good way for students to learn about the areas where they might be spending the most time if they choose to attend school there, and it’s also valuable information when comparing different schools. For best results, you should email professors or administrators ahead of time to set up a meeting, Stone says, but even informal visits can be valuable.
Check out other campuses nearby.
As students plan their visits, families should take note of other options near the schools they intend to visit. “If you’re going to spend some time traveling, whether it be across the state or across the country, you might as well try to maximize that and investigate other opportunities that are close and convenient,” says Collin Palmer, associate vice president of enrollment management at Kent State University in Ohio. Many major metro areas are home to multiple colleges, and even rural areas may have colleges that are surprisingly close together.
“That can be a great way not only to sample the on-campus food options, but also to have informal conversations with current students in line or at a nearby table,” Stone says. Some schools have particularly tasty options, and those with dietary restrictions should get a sense of whether the school can cater to their needs.
Explore the campus library. Another place where students spend significant time is the campus library. Many campuses have more than one library, each with unique offerings to consider. Some even have coffee shops and restaurants. Stone notes that some are open-stack libraries, meaning students can browse, select and check out books themselves. Others are closed-stack, meaning library staffers retrieve the books for students. Similarly, some campus libraries offer a slew of private study rooms with modern technology available to use for various projects. Prospective students should use the campus visit to check out the school library and make sure that it fits their academic needs.
Ask about campus safety.
Feeling safe on school grounds is an important factor to consider when exploring colleges. Prospective students should ask tour guides about campus safety policies. While on campus, asking students how comfortable they feel at the school is a good way to gauge how safe students generally feel, Hopkins says. In virtual campus tours, students can ask guides or the admissions office for more information on safety precautions taken at the school.
Federal law requires colleges to release information related to crime on and around campus, so families can check
annual security reports to see recent incidents on campus. If anything stands out as a cause for concern, ask the school for more information on campus safety.
Get financial aid information.
Along with understanding the culture of a school and the academic options it provides, students should research financial aid opportunities. A campus visit is an opportunity to stop by the financial aid office. Finding out the types of aid available, such as merit-based and needbased, is one of the first questions students should ask, Rubin says. “Students can also bargain for more money once they’re accepted, and that’s where they really have a leg up,” she says.
This can also help students budget for attending that school, Hopkins says, noting that families should be aware that cost of attendance is not the sticker price. Families should factor in fees, as well as room and board, travel expenses for students attending away from home and any aid or income that could help offset costs.
Ask about disability accommodations.
Per the Americans with Disabilities Act, any school that accepts federal money is legally required to provide accommodations for qualifying students who are differently abled. Some do the bare minimum, but there are other schools that have strong programming because they have a high number of students needing services. Some charge fees for certain services, like tutoring,
so experts suggest meeting with the disabilities services office to ask what’s available and at what cost. “It’s really important for students to understand to what extent they need to fight for these services and always be on top of their teachers and make sure their accommodation plan goes out to everybody at the start of each semester,” Rubin says.
Meet with clubs and organizations.
Ask most any student and they will agree that a big part of the college experience is the social component, and experts say students should make sure they attend a school where they can get involved in clubs and organizations. For example, students who are interested in joining a fraternity or sorority should check out Greek life housing and meet with the campus administrator overseeing Greek organizations. Those who enjoy sports recreationally should reach out to presidents or leaders of clubs or someone who organizes intramural sports, Stone says. “I always tell students to talk to any extracurricular leaders tied into your interest,” she says. “So if you’re a violin player, speak to someone in the music department. If you love drama, talk to someone who is the head of the theater club.”
Explore various virtual tour options.
If visiting a school isn’t an option, whether due to logistics or financial reasons, rest assured that there are online tools that allow prospective students to take virtual tours that give a true-to-life experience right from home. l

How Study Abroad Can Benefit College Students
Doing coursework outside the U.S. can help students learn powerful skills and can provide an employment edge after colleges
by Miki Tanikawa
YOUR MOST MEMORABLE college experience may be a plane ride away. International opportunities obtained by studying abroad expose college students to foreign cultures, language immersion and interaction with diverse communities around the world, which could lead to increased self-awareness, improved critical thinking and even work opportunities, experts say.
“We live and work in a globalized world. We are so interconnected, whether virtually or through physical contact,” says Lindsay Calvert, the director of the Center for Access and Equity at the Institute of International Education (IIE). “And it is ever more important for students to have these experiences, so they are able to work with and among different cultures.”
What Students Can Gain From Studying Abroad
Nick Gozik, dean of global education at Elon University in North Carolina, is emphatic about the utility of study abroad.
“It is difficult to imagine that a college graduate will not need the skills gained through study abroad and other global experiences,” he says. “Whether it is a doctor who treats patients originating from other countries, a teacher with students from underrepresented backgrounds, or a scientist working in a multinational, it is increasingly necessary for graduates to be able to navigate difference and work with people from other cultures and backgrounds.”
Cognitive and Relational Skills
College students can develop various personal, interpersonal and cognitive skills by studying abroad, studies indicate, including flexibility and adaptability, self-awareness and intercultural skills.
In an IIE research study involving more than 4,500 college alumni who studied abroad between the 1999-2000
and 2016-2017 academic years, a majority of respondents said their overseas experience cultivated these qualities in them. The benefits generally increased with the length of the study period.
Professional Development
Students in study abroad programs often mix their desire for an adventure with foreign language acquisition, academic pursuits, short-term work opportunities such as internships, career building or a combination.
Sera Park, who earned an art history degree at Temple University in Pennsylvania, went to the university’s Rome campus from spring to fall 2021, during the pandemic. “It was my dream to study in Italy,” she says. “My mom is an artist and I grew up around that but didn’t know what I wanted to do with my degree.”
Park worked as an intern on an art conservation project with a local art conservator recommended by her professor. After completing her undergraduate studies, she secured internships at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and at the Brooklyn Museum. “Studying abroad has definitely helped shape my future career path and opened many opportunities for me,” she says.
How Study Abroad Can Enhance Job Prospects
Time spent abroad during college can also work in your favor when you’re back home and starting your career. According to the IIE research, when asked if their study abroad contributed to a job offer at some point, 67.5% of respondents who participated in a full academic year of the experience said yes, compared to 53.4% of those who studied overseas for roughly a semester and 42.5% of those who studied abroad for fewer than eight weeks.
Indeed, among the most tangible ways that students are leveraging their study abroad experiences is in their job searches. Experts and students say that when searching for employment straight out of college and lacking significant employment history, one’s broader life experiences may count more.
Having been in a foreign environment gives job applicants a broader scope for a narrative about how their background and experiences have built their character, experts say.
The pandemic taught additional lessons about the value of studying abroad, says Samantha Brandauer, associate provost and executive director of the Center for Global Study and Engagement at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania. Those lessons include “your ability to understand and tolerate ambiguity that comes from cross-cultural experiences and to sit with the ‘I don’t know,’” she says. “That is a valuable skill in your working environment, your ability to sit with the unknown that often comes with significant cross-cultural experiences.”
Employers may have more favorable views of young job seekers with international experience, some research suggests. A 2016 QS Global Employer Survey Report found that six out of 10 employers around the world give extra credit for job applicants with study abroad on their resumes, and more than 80% said they actively seek graduates with overseas study experiences.
What Deters Students From Studying Abroad
There are multiple factors that can discourage U.S. students
from applying to a study abroad program. These can include concerns about the added expenses, fear of missing out on something at home, health challenges and being far away from family and friends, experts say.
Interestingly, male students are less likely to study abroad than female students, says Brandauer. “For decades, it has been 60-40 in favor of women,” she says, and that’s been the national trend. Brandauer suspects that male students have “a harder time finding their social niche on a college campus, and once they identify with a group, then it is hard to leave that group,” she says.
Students who are historically underrepresented in U.S. colleges, such as students with disabilities and some racial minorities, tend to also be underrepresented in study abroad participation, according to the 2023 IIE study. That study report also notes that many colleges have been making efforts to improve the access and experience for underrepresented students by offering scholarships, boosting advising and providing special information sessions.
While there may be challenges associated with studying abroad, such as financial concerns or homesickness, for many students, the potential rewards seem to far outweigh the risks. For those seeking to make a meaningful impact on their personal and professional lives, studying abroad can be a truly transformative experience. l

STUDY THE SCHOOLS
to Consider 5 Reasons College Community
Two-year public colleges offer low tuition, job-specific training and other benefits
by Andrew Warner
WHETHER YOU’RE a high school student unsure of which colleges to apply to or an adult considering going back to school, there are plenty of reasons to put community college on your list.
The spike in interest in attending community college is clearly reflected in the student enrollment numbers. In fact, about 38% of all U.S. undergraduates are enrolled at community colleges, and research shows that in the spring of 2024, community college enrollment ticked up by 4.7% compared to the year before. That number continues to grow.
And it’s no surprise why. Community colleges offer many benefits that are widely appealing, like open-enrollment policies and flexible scheduling. These schools can also be an affordable way to dip your toes into higher education before transferring to a four-year program – and committing to that higher tuition. But these colleges also offer a breadth of programs that can allow students to forgo the university experience entirely. If you’re considering community college, here are five advantages to keep in mind.
Lower Costs
Considering that a recent survey shows that 70% of parents are worried about having enough money to pay for their child’s college, it comes as no surprise that one of the most frequently cited benefits of community college is its relatively low cost of attendance. “Cost is certainly one of the primary reasons why someone should consider a community college,” explains Martha Parham, senior vice president of public relations at the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC).
According to 2022-2023 data from the College Board, an education at a community college costs, on average, about one-third less than an education
from a four-year public in-state university. The average estimated full-time undergraduate budget (which includes tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation and other personal expenses) for public two-year in-district college is $19,860 while the average cost for public four-year instate students comes to almost $28,840. (Meanwhile, the average estimated cost for public four-year out-of-state students is $46,730 while the cost for private nonprofit four-year students is $60,420.)
“On top of that, most community colleges have resources to help students eliminate any financial barriers they may have to attending college,” Parham says, noting that community colleges often provide generous financial aid and scholarships to their students.
A Path to a Four-Year College
Many four-year universities have transfer agreements with local community colleges, which allow students who complete specific requirements to easily transfer into a four-year program at a nearby university.
Transfer students can then earn a bachelor’s degree while only having to pay two years of higher tuition.
“When you get an associate’s degree at a community college, you start as a junior when you transfer to a four-year university,” says Iris Palmer, director, Community Colleges, at New America’s Center on Education & Labor program. “So you take your general education and you don’t have to redo it or add on classes at the four-year college.”
George L. Wimberly, director of professional development and diversity officer at the American Educational Research Association, says that, in addition to reducing the cost of a bachelor’s degree, completing two years at a community college can ease the sometimes intimidating transition from high
Flexibility
Community colleges allow for flexible scheduling, giving students the ability to attend college while working or raising a family. This flexibility comes in many forms, from night classes to asynchronous coursework. “A lot of community colleges recognize that their students are working part-time or full-time jobs,” Wimberly says.
Parham says this flexibility makes community colleges a particularly good option for older students who are working professionals as well as students who are parents. (According to the AACC, the average community college student is 27 years old, and 43% percent of community college students are 22 or older.)
school to university-level coursework.
Palmer adds that it’s particularly important for students to take note of the specific requirements for their college’s transfer agreement, as these can vary significantly from place to place.
Proximity to Home
Some students are eager to get as far away from their childhood home as possible when attending college, but moving across the country isn’t as appealing to others. Because community colleges typically enroll students who live in and around the region in which the school is located, there’s often a sense of comfort along with ease of accessibility. This is especially important for students who may have been uncomfortable being away from their families or familiar surroundings.
The open-enrollment policy at community colleges allows many students who might not necessarily be able to attend a faraway university to gain access to higher education. In this way, Parham says that community colleges place a strong emphasis on serving the local population. “If you’re able to live at home and work and go to school in your local community, that of course increases access,” she says.
Flexible scheduling doesn’t just benefit older students either. Palmer says many community colleges have dual-enrollment programs that allow high school students to take college-level courses during the evening or on the weekends.
Workforce Training
Community colleges tend to offer a wide range of career and technical education programs in fields ranging from engineering and accounting to culinary arts and automobile mechanics. While students could also study many of these topics in a vocational trade school, community colleges tend to offer these programs at a much lower cost.
Palmer and Parham agree that the highly applied nature of these programs prepares students for entering the workforce. “There are really good training programs at community colleges, and they tend to have really good relationships with the employers in their community,” Palmer says.
Many community colleges also offer baccalaureate programs in highly applied fields like business, nursing and computer science. These programs allow students to earn a bachelor’s degree without ever having to attend a four-year university. In 2023, researchers at New America estimated that more than 187 public, mainly two-year institutions – or roughly 18% of all community colleges in the U.S. – offer baccalaureate programs throughout 24 states, and that number is expected to rise.
“There are actually a lot of similar programs to what you would have in a traditional four-year institution, but with less of the liberal arts,” Palmer says. “They’re much more applied and focused on particular occupations.”
Of course, multiple factors play a role in your college decision process. But for students who want to get an education to prepare for a great career without accumulating a large amount of debt and while staying close to familiar surroundings and people, community college could be the right fit. l
STUDY THE SCHOOLS
Before Choosing an 6 Things To Know 1
or University Online College
The benefits of earning a degree online makes it possible for many to receive higher education
by Cole Claybourn and Emma Kerr
MAKING THE decision to attend an online college or university can be a great choice for many students. Indeed, these students can expect more convenience, the ability to maintain a full or part-time job outside of school, easier childcare options, flexible hours and a unique learning environment.
Whether it’s to pursue an associate, bachelor’s or advanced degree, online programs offer flexibility for those whose life circumstances, like family obligations or lack of accessible transportation, make attending in-person college classes impractical. Plus, some online programs
are available at a fraction of the cost of brick-and-mortar colleges, making a once unaffordable degree attainable for more students.
Here, a few points to consider so you can make an informed decision about whether or not to enroll in an online degree program, and tips for choosing the right one for you and your educational goals.
Determine if an Online Program Is Right for You It takes discipline and structure to succeed in an online format, experts say. Online courses are generally delivered through a learning management system – a virtual portal that serves as a classroom – where students can access lessons on their own and set their own schedules for completing the assigned coursework.
The flexibility of online programs is often what attracts people the most, but experts say it’s crucial for prospective students to consider their own personality, study habits and tendencies when evaluating whether an online program is right for them. This introspection is crucial for successful college outcomes.
“These flexible online programs often attract people who fare poorly with a lack of structure and more freedom,” says Allen Koh, CEO of education consulting firm Cardinal Education. “For a lot of people, I really encourage them to think about structure a little favorably, especially since education costs so much. It could help
them get out more quickly.”
Because online programs offer more flexibility for completing course work and give you the option to work at your own pace, one of the biggest misconceptions about them is that they’re easier than traditional in-person courses. Experts warn that in reality, online courses can be more demanding for some students due to the self-discipline and prioritization skills required to succeed.
“They are actually harder for many individuals because they require you to be very good at time management,” says Leah Pottle, senior director of marketing and enrollment services for the University of New England. “You must also be diligent about making time to study and do your assignments.”
Choose an Accredited Program
When it comes to picking any degree program, legitimacy matters. Schools must prove that they meet certain education standards. Officially, this means that they must be accredited by a “nationally recognized” accrediting agency, such as the Higher Learning Commission or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, for students to receive federal financial aid, according to the U.S. Department of Education. It’s a voluntary process, but a program that lacks accreditation is definitely a red flag, experts say.
Research the Curriculum
Prospective students should also take time to explore course offerings, meet with department heads and professors and talk with former students to get a sense of coursework rigor. This can also be assessed by looking at how challenging the classes and work are, as well as at the strength of the overall curriculum.
If students sense that a program will lack rigor and be “easy,” that may be a sign to avoid it, says Kristen Willmott, a senior private counselor and graduate school admissions director at admissions consulting firm Top Tier Admissions.
“If you’re going to go through the trouble of working on your application and paying that application fee and ultimately diving forward with an online program, you want to make sure that the one you select jives with what you’re actually hoping to accomplish,” she says.
When it comes to picking any degree program, legitimacy matters.~
“Some programs operate without accreditation, focusing primarily on profit,” says Pierre Huguet, CEO and founder of admissions consulting firm H&C Education. “A degree from a non-accredited college or university is often not valued as proof of competence by employers. Accreditation assures that the courses are rigorous and meet the standards of other institutions that grant similar degrees.”
Colleges typically list their accreditation directly on their website, but prospective students can also verify the accreditation status of specific programs through the Education Department’s Office of Postsecondary Education accreditation database. This is important because for specific career paths, programmatic accreditations are crucial and can help immensely in landing a job, Pottle says.
“Programmatic accreditation should also give prospective students extra comfort, since it serves as a secondary layer of quality assurance,” says Pottle. “It says that it’s not just the college itself that has been reviewed and approved by an external body, but the program too has been through a rigorous review process and accepted as meeting or exceeding quality standards.”
Determine the Cost
The price tag of an online college should be considered, including how the cost compares to attending a brick-and-mortar school. This information is generally available on the university’s website. Be sure to do your research carefully, as the tuition number shown may not always be the actual price. Experts caution prospective students to be aware of hidden fees when applying to online programs.
“Many schools will boast a lower tuition rate and then, after you commit to enroll with them, tack on a bunch of fees,” Pottle says. “Fees are not necessarily a red flag, but you want to be aware of them, and a school should be happy to be transparent with you about them – what they’re for, how much they are, and how they’re added on. For example, are they per credit, per class or per semester?”
The low costs of some online programs can be attractive, especially to students who are choosing an online education for financial reasons, but experts advise prospective students to be cautious. Something that seems too good to be true, such as earning a degree in a very short period of time or at an extremely low cost, could be a warning sign. Alternatively, if a program seems abnormally expensive, gather more information to make sure that the cost is justified. (For tips on how to pay for your online education, see page 37.)
“Also, be cautious of programs that require large payments upfront,” Huguet says. “Accredited programs must follow strict ethical rules regarding funding requests and offerings.”
Find Your Support System
A supportive environment and educational tools are crucial for college success. When it comes to available resources, the online experience differs greatly from attending an in-per -
son school. For example, students lack access to physical spaces, like computer labs and libraries, and face-to-face meetings with professors and classmates.
Schools have generally adapted to provide online students many of the benefits that in-person students experience, offering virtual office hours to meet with instructors and ways to collaborate virtually, says Rhiannon Pollard, interim director of UF Online.
Part of the process of vetting a program is exploring what services and support are available for students. You’ll want to spend time thinking about what you may need and if the school you’re interested in will be able to accommodate you.
“What does this school you’re looking at have in place to help you reach your goals?” Pottle says. “Is tutoring available? What does that cost? Will you have an adviser that’s specifically assigned to you? What kind of career support is there? These are all very valid questions to help you compare and contrast institutions and find the best college for you.”
If this information isn’t available on the school’s website, don’t be shy about reaching out to someone in admissions or getting in touch with a faculty member. A school should be more than willing to share a list of resources with prospective students.
“Nowadays, there don’t have to be many trade-offs when you choose online over residential,” says Pollard. “Even online students often have access to peer communities and connections and are able to network with each other.”
You’ll want to add this to your list of topics to research when you look into an online school or program, as it’s not always a given.
Look Into Post-Grad Job Opportunities
Another good indicator of an online program’s quality is employment statistics of graduates. If the majority of graduates land jobs in their intended field, it’s typically a good sign that the program is adequately preparing students and that students are getting a good return on their investment, experts say.
Prospective students can find this information on the university’s website or from the admissions office. Experts also advise directly asking job-attainment questions of the schools of interest and alumni before deciding to apply.
If the degree is in a field that requires licensure or certification, such as nursing, education or psychology, prospective students should ensure the program meets the necessary criteria for professional practice in the state they intend to work, Huguet says.
“For instance, some schools offer general psychological education that doesn’t meet state requirements for licensure,” he says. “For students who have gone through non-accredited, sub-standard programs, this could mean signing up for additional courses or paying out-of-pocket for supervised training from licensed professionals.” l

THow to Pay for Online Education
HE PRICE tag for an online college may not be much less than a brick-and-mortar school, but there are options to help ease the burden.
Apply for Scholarships and Financial Aid
Scholarships and financial aid may be available, so prospective students should speak with the financial aid office and explore third-party scholarships. A common misconception is that there’s less financial aid for online programs than in-person programs, but experts say it’s mostly identical and that online students have the same access to federal financial aid and merit-based or need-based scholarships.
Ask Your Employer About Company Benefits
“Also, don’t forget to check in with your employer about tuition assistance or reimbursement,” Pottle says. “If your job does offer this, make sure to talk with your human resources department and your prospective school to see how you can best maximize that benefit and reduce your own out-of-pocket cost.”
Consider Out-of-State Public Schools
Some public institutions offer all students enrolled in online programs in-state tuition regardless of where they live, notes Ray Schroeder, a professor emeritus at the University of Illinois— Springfield and senior fellow at UPCEA, the online and professional education association. This offering is a great advantage to students interested in a college out of state, proving that there are plenty of opportunities to cut tuition costs that aren’t always obvious.

Rank Colleges How We
You can make use of our statistics as you search for a good fit
by Eric M. Brooks, Kenneth D. Hines and Robert J. Morse
THERE ARE PLENTY OF REASONS to attend a particular college or university. But the top ones, according to several different surveys, relate to academic reputation, cost of attending and the return on investment. The 40th annual edition of Best Colleges took those priorities into account. Using industry-standard statistics, the top-ranked schools provided ample classroom resources for students and faculty; conferred bachelor’s degrees at high rates; and produced graduates who entered the workforce with manageable debt and worthwhile starting salaries.
Rankings aside, individual preferences matter too – including which majors are offered, student body characteristics and financial aid availability – published in the guidebook’s index and in greater detail on usnews.com. Altogether, the rankings and data are a guide for discovering schools predicated on academic rankings and personal considerations. This aligns with U.S. News’ mission of helping consumers, business leaders and policy officials make important decisions in their lives through independent reporting, data and rankings, journalism and advice.
ELIGIBILITY
To be ranked, four-year degree-granting institutions had to: have regional accreditation; admit first-year students; deliver some education in person; not be too highly specialized; and have programs large enough for usable data.
Once again, eligibility was not contingent on participation in U.S. News’ surveys. But 83.5% of schools U.S. News surveyed reported data to U.S. News, including 99 of the top 100 schools in the national universities ranking and 97 of the top 100 in the national liberal arts colleges ranking.
This guidebook pairs the overall rankings with specialized subject and cost-oriented rankings, robust datasets and education journalism. Together, these rankings should be used as a tool for discovering the colleges and universities that may be the best fit for you – combined, of course, with personal considerations and additional resources.
THE PROCESS
First, to establish valid comparisons we place institutions into the following categories: National Universities, National Liberal Arts Colleges, Regional Universities and Regional Colleges.
The national universities offer a full range of undergraduate majors, plus master’s and Ph.D. programs or professional practice doctorates, and emphasize faculty research (Page 44). The national liberal arts colleges focus almost exclusively on undergraduate education (Page 54). They award at least 50% of their degrees in the arts and sciences. The regional universities (Page 59) offer a broad scope of undergraduate degrees and some master’s programs but few, if any, doctoral programs. The regional colleges (Page 74) focus on undergraduate education but grant fewer than 50% of their degrees in liberal arts disciplines.
The regional universities and regional colleges are further divided into four geographical groups: North, South, Midwest and West. The method used to group schools was again derived from the 2021 update to the Basic Classification by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.
Next, we collected data directly from colleges and universities and also sourced from the U.S. Department of Education (ED) and Elsevier, a global leader in information and analytics. Each factor was assigned a weight that reflects our own research and engagement with experts in higher education.
Finally, the schools in each category were ranked against other institutions using their overall scores, calculated by summing their standardized, weighted indicators. All schools in the tables were numerically ranked by U.S. News although those in the bottom 10% do not display their exact placement and are listed alphabetically.
U.S. News relies on schools to accurately report their data. Many of the reporting instructions in U.S. News’ surveys followed federal government definitions and/or were from the 2023-2024 Common Data Set – a collaborative effort between publishers and higher education, of which U.S. News is a participant.
completing this step footnoted as such. Finally, each school was emailed a document of their submitted data planned for use in the rankings, giving them one final opportunity to review and update.
For those that declined to complete our statistical survey (identified as nonresponders), we footnoted them as such, and made greater use of slightly older data they reported to ED’s National Center for Education Statistics and College Scorecard. If no data were available, they are reported in the tables as N/A, or not available.
The indicators we use to capture academic quality are described below. A more detailed methodology is accessible at www.usnews.com/collegemeth.
THE INDICATORS
Weighing What’s
I mportant
OUTCOMES (52%): More than half of a school’s rank consists of measures related to students’ results from their education. The four-year average of six-year graduation rates (entering fall 2014 through fall 2017) was weighted at 16% of the overall score. The four-year average of first-year student retention rates (entering fall 2019 through fall 2022) was weighted at 5%.
The U.S. News rankings are based on several categories of quality indicators, listed below. Scores for each group are weighted as shown to arrive at a final overall score.
The Scoring Breakdown for National Universities
Survey responses were compared to those supplied in previous years, along with third-party data and stats reported by other schools. All schools were instructed to review, revise and verify the accuracy of their data, explain large changes in writing and double-check certain data points flagged during survey completion or later by U.S. News analysts. They were also instructed to have a top academic official sign off on the accuracy of the data before submission, with those not
A school’s graduation rate performance, weighted at 10%, controls for the effect of school resources, admissions selectivity and the proportion of undergraduates from low-income households on how likely its students are to graduate. Also averaged over four years, U.S. News compared a school’s six-year graduation rate to the graduation rate we predicted for that entering class using regression analysis. If the actual graduation rate is higher than the predicted rate, then the college is enhancing achievement.
The social mobility measures assess schools’ support of students from underserved backgrounds. It considers a school’s six-year bachelor’s degree graduation rate among students who received Pell Grants, how that performance compares with the graduation rate of all other students and how many Pell students were enrolled. Each Pell graduation factor was averaged over four years and weighted at 5.5%, totaling 11% of the formula.
Borrower debt is weighted at 5% and assesses each schools’ typical federal loan debt among graduate borrowers from 20192020 and 2020-2021 only, meaning that students who did not graduate or who did not need to borrow did not help or hurt their schools. Smaller amounts borrowed score better. College grads earning more than a high school graduate is
weighted 5% and assessed the proportion of federal loan recipients who in 2020-2021 –five years since completing their undergraduate degrees – were earning more than a typical high school graduate salary, about $32,000 in 2021 dollars. Non-graduates and graduates furthering their education did not help or hurt their schools.
PEER ASSESSMENT (20%): We surveyed presidents, provosts and deans of admissions, asking them to rate the academic quality of peer institutions with which they were familiar on a scale of 1 (marginal) to 5 (distinguished).
An institution known for having innovative approaches to teaching may perform especially well on this indicator, for example, whereas a school struggling to keep its accreditation will likely perform poorly. The peer assessment score is derived from averaging survey results from 2023 and 2024, excluding any ratings submitted by nonresponders to the companion statistical survey. Of the 4,665 academics who were sent questionnaires in 2024, 31% responded.
FACULTY RESOURCES (11%): Research shows that the greater access students have to quality instructors, the more likely they are to be engaged in their classes, learn and ultimately graduate.
Faculty salary (6% in national universities; 8% in others) reflects the average pay of nearly all full-time instructional faculty for the 20232024 academic year. A couple additional factors pertaining to fall 2023 were undergraduate student-faculty ratio (3%; 4% in others) and the proportion of instructional faculty who were full time (2%; 3% others).
FINANCIAL RESOURCES (8%): Generous per-student spending indicates that a college can offer a variety of programs and services. U.S. News measures financial resources using average spending per student on instruction, research, student services and related educational expenditures in the 2022 fiscal year, compared to full-time and part-time undergraduate and graduate enrollments in academic year 2021-2022. Spending not related to academics did not count.
STANDARDIZED TESTS (5%): SAT and ACT scores were weighted at 5%. Only schools in which a majority of fall 2023 new entrants submitted scores, or fall 2022 as a backup, had that year’s median SAT and ACT scores incorporated into their rankings, weighted by the proportions of test takers submitting each exam. Schools then benefited gradually based on the higher proportion of new entrants who

reported exams under the assumption that applicants that decline to report them typically have lower scores.
For other schools, the 5% weight was reallocated to the average graduation rate ranking factor that statistically aligned closest to this ranking factor. For informational purposes, the ranking tables always display test data from the most recent year available.
FACULTY RESEARCH (4%): These four ranking factors are used in the national universities ranking only, because these schools award doctorate-level degrees and Carnegie classified them as conducting at least moderate research.
They are Citations per Publication (1.25%), Field Weighted Citation Impact (1.25%), Publication share in the Top 5% of Journals by CiteScore (1%) and Publication share in the Top 25% of Journals by CiteScore (0.5%). Each metric was extracted from SciVal based on Elsevier’s Scopus® Data. In the ranking table, the aggregate of these statistics produced each school’s bibliometric rank.
AS YOU REVIEW THE RANKINGS, please note that the information displayed is, in many cases, the most recent year’s raw statistics applied toward the rankings, as labeled in the column headers. They were selected for ease of understanding and therefore do not incorporate all the transformations and multiyear averaging of these data applied to each school’s rank. Statistics specific to graduate debt and earnings were sourced entirely from the Department of Education’s (ED) College Scorecard. Bibliometric rank used aggregated 2019-2023 data sourced from Elsevier, and all other ranking factors use data schools reported directly to U.S. News, oftentimes combined with data from ED’s National Center for Education Statistics.
As you mine the following tables for insights, keep in mind that the rankings provide a springboard for more research rather than an easy answer. l

What Is a National University?
TO ASSESS MORE than 1,800 of the country’s fouryear colleges and universities, U.S. News first assigns each to a group of its peers, based on the categories of higher education institutions developed by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The National Universities category consists of 434 ranked institutions (225 public, 206 private and 3 for-profit) that offer a wide range of undergraduate majors as well as master’s and research-oriented PhD degrees or professional practice doctorates; some institutions emphasize research. A list of the top 30 public national universities appears on Page 52.
Data on up to 17 indicators of academic quality are gathered from each institution. Schools are ranked by total weighted score; those tied are listed alphabetically. For a description of the methodology, see Page 40. For more on a college, turn to the directory at the back of the book.

Regional Universities
What Is a Regional University?
LIKE THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITIES, the institutions that appear here provide a full range of undergraduate majors and master’s programs in many disciplines; the difference is that they offer few, if any, doctoral programs. The 576 ranked universities in this category are not ranked nationally but rather against their peer group in one of four regions – North, South, Midwest and West – because in general, they tend to draw students most heavily from surrounding states.

Regional Colleges
What Is a Regional College?
THESE SCHOOLS FOCUS almost entirely on the undergraduate experience and offer a broad range of programs in the liberal arts (which account for fewer than half of bachelor’s degrees granted) and in fields such as business, nursing and education. They award only a few graduate degrees. Because most of the 283 ranked colleges in the category draw heavily from nearby states, they are ranked by region: North, South, Midwest, West.

Historically Black Colleges
INCREASINGLY, THE NATION’S TOP historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are an appealing option for applicants of all races; many HBCUs, in fact, actively recruit Hispanic, international and white students in addition to African American high school grads. Which institutions offer the best undergraduate education? Each year, U.S. News surveys HBCU administrators, asking the president, provost and admissions dean to rate the academic quality of all other HBCUs with which they are familiar.
In addition to the two most recent years of survey results reflected in the peer assessment score, the rankings are based on nearly all the indicators (although weighted slightly differently) used in the overall Best Colleges rankings: graduation and retention rates, social mobility, percent of graduates earning more than high school grads, indebtedness, admis-
sion test scores and the strength of the faculty, among others. Outcome measures such as graduation and retention rates are together given the most weight, accounting for more than 50% of the weight, as in the overall Best Colleges rankings.
Key Measures
To be eligible, a school must be designated by the Department of Education as an HBCU, be a baccalaureate-granting institution that enrolls primarily first-year, first-time students and have been part of this year’s Best Colleges ranking process. If an HBCU is unranked in the 2025 Best Colleges rankings, it is unranked here; reasons that schools are not ranked vary.
Of 78 eligible HBCUs, 77 were ranked. HBCUs in the top 90 percent are numerically ranked; those in the bottom 10 percent appear alphabetically. For more detail on the methodology and changes made for this ranking, visit www.usnews.com/hbcu.

Business Programs

Engineering Programs
ON THESE PAGES, U.S. News ranks undergraduate engineering programs accredited by ABET. Rankings are based solely on surveys of engineering deans and senior faculty at accredited programs. Participants were asked to rate programs with which they’re familiar on a scale of 1 (marginal) to 5 (distinguished). Only the results from the 2024 surveys were used in the overall rankings. Students who prefer a program focused on undergrads can use the list of
institutions whose terminal degree is a bachelor’s or master’s; universities that grant doctorates in engineering (their programs are ranked separately) likely have far more engineering specialties and course offerings at the undergraduate level. For the 2024 surveys, 40.8% in the non-doctoral group responded; 55.9% did so for the doctorate group. Respondents were also asked to name up to 15 top programs in specialty areas; those mentioned most often in 2024 appear here.

by Cole Claybourn
THE COLLEGE APPLICATION process can seem daunting. There are many questions students have about everything from deadlines to writing a winning essay. This is especially true if students don’t have parents or siblings who have already been through it and can offer advice.
Since there are several steps, such as writing an essay and obtaining letters of recommendation, experts say a good way for students to get started is to create a to-do list during their junior year of high school.
“Once you can see it visually, the number of tasks and a schedule to do them, it simplifies a lot of things,” says Christine Chu, a premier college admissions counselor at IvyWise, a New York-based education consulting company. “It will take away a lot of the anxiety.”
Though there is often prep work, students generally begin working on college application tasks the summer between their junior and senior years of high school, experts say.
Here’s what prospective undergraduates need to know about completing a college application.
Know the College Application Deadlines
High school seniors have multiple application deadlines to choose from when applying to colleges. Understanding your options helps determine how you can prioritize your submissions.
Early Decision
First are early decision deadlines, usually in November. Students who apply via early decision, or ED, hear back from a college sooner than their peers who turn in applications later. ED admissions decisions often come out by December.
However, students should be aware that ED acceptances are binding, meaning an applicant must enroll if offered admission.
Early Action
Early action is another type of application deadline that tends to be in November or December, though some schools set deadlines as early as Oct. 15. Similar to early decision, students who apply via early action hear back from schools sooner. The difference is EA acceptances aren’t binding.
Regular Decision
Students can also choose to apply by a school’s regular decision deadline, which is typically Jan. 1. Students who apply regular decision generally hear back from schools in mid-to-late March or early April. This is the most common way students apply to schools.
Rolling Admissions
Schools with rolling admissions evaluate applications as they receive them and release admissions decisions on an ongoing basis. These schools may have a priority filing date, but they generally don’t have a hard cutoff
The Ultimate College Application Guide
With the right tips and expert guidance, you can conquer the college application process
date for applications. The institutions continue accepting them until all spots in the incoming class are filled.
Regardless of the type of decision students pursue, it’s important to start the application process early, says Denard Jones, lead counselor at Empowerly, a college admissions consulting company. Jones previously worked in college admissions at Elon University in North Carolina and Saint Joseph’s University in Pennsylvania.
“If you chunk it up and break down these tasks and can get ahead and start early, you’re not stifling your creativity because you’re trying to rush through to get everything done by October or November deadlines,” he says. “Time
management is something you’re going to have to deal with the rest of your life, regardless of what you go into.”
In deciding when to apply, as well as how many colleges to apply to, students should consider financial aid implications. Experts say if money is a concern, as it is for most families of college-bound students, applicants should choose nonbinding deadlines – EA and regular decision. This will enable families to compare financial aid offers from multiple schools.
Experts also suggest students research applicable scholarships, like those related to their hobbies, to help offset costs. See Scholarship Strategies on page 126 for
tips on how to score grant money.
There’s no set price for college application fees, which experts say typically range from $50 to $90 per application, though costs can stretch upward of $100 in some instances. Prospective students should check college websites to determine these individual fees.
Choose Your Preferred Platform
Students have several options when it comes to the college application platform they utilize.
The Common Application
One popular choice is the Common Application, which is accepted by more than 1,000 colleges, including some outside the United States. Students fill out the Common App once and can then submit it to multiple colleges.
However, in addition to the main application, Common App schools often have a supplemental section, Chu says. The supplement sometimes includes additional essay questions, so students may need to budget time for more writing.
Some schools do not accept the Common App and students will have to fill out separate applications, generally through the school’s website.
Coalition Application and Common Black College Application
Other application options include the Coalition Application, a newer platform accepted by 130 schools, and the Common Black College Application, accepted by most Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
Common App, Coalition Application and CBCA websites list their partner schools.
Think About Your College Essay
As part of the application process, most colleges require students to submit at least one writing sample: the college essay. This is sometimes referred to as a personal statement. There’s usually a word limit of around several hundred words for a personal statement. The main essay on the Common App should be around 650 words. The Coalition Application website says its essays should be between 500 and 650 words. Institution-specific supplemental essays typically have a word count of around 250 words.
Regardless of which application platform they use, students have multiple essay prompts from which to choose.
Additionally, some colleges have school-specific or university system-specific applications. For example, the University of California system has its own application – the only platform used by UC schools – and students can apply to multiple campuses with one application.
Prospective students can visit a college’s website to find out which application platforms are accepted. Also, the
“The application essay prompts are broad and open-ended, and I think that’s sometimes what challenges students the most,” says Niki Barron, associate dean of admission at Hamilton College in New York. “But they’re open-ended for a reason, and that’s because we do really want to see what students choose to write about, what students feel is important.”
Experts say students should try to tell a story about themselves in the essay, which doesn’t necessarily mean writing about a big, impressive accomplishment.
Barron says the most memorable essays she’s read focus on more ordinary topics. “But they’re done in such a self-reflective way that it gives me so much insight into who a student is as a person and gives me such a sense of the student’s voice,” she adds. For essay writing tips, see Making Your Voice Heard on page 108.
Understand the Other Key Sections
There are several other parts of the college application that prospective students should be ready for. Be sure to plan ahead and ask for help where needed.
Personal Information
In the first portion of a college application, students have to provide basic information about themselves, their school and their family.
High School Transcript
Colleges also ask for an official high school transcript, which is a record of the courses students have taken and the grades they have earned.
Admissions offices typically ask that a transcript be sent directly from the high school rather than from the student, says Geoff Heckman, school counselor and department chair at Platte County High School in Missouri. Students usually submit a transcript request to their high school’s counseling office, but some schools use an online service, such as Parchment or SENDedu, that allows students to request the transcript be sent through a secure online provider, Heckman says.
Students can also send their transcript via a registrar if their school has one rather than through the counseling office.
Standardized Test Scores
Many schools require applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores, which are usually sent by the testing companies. The number of schools requiring standardized test scores continues to change after the coronavirus pandemic upended these exams. (See page 112 for more on entrance exams.)
Prospective students should know, however, that testing policies vary even when such exams are not required. Key terms to pay attention to include test-blind and test-optional. Test-blind means that scores will not be considered if submitted. By contrast, test-optional colleges do not require ACT or SAT scores but will consider them if submitted as part of an application.
which schools they’d like their scores sent to before or up to nine days after the test, according to the College Board, which administers the standardized test. The fee for each additional score report is $14.
Similarly, students who sit for the ACT can send their score to up to four colleges at no cost, according to the ACT website. Additional score reports are $19 each. However, some students may qualify for a fee waiver, which allows test-takers to send additional score reports for free to colleges and scholarship agencies at any time during the college search process, according to the ACT website.
Letters of Recommendation
Colleges often ask students to submit two to three letters of recommendation.
Students should seek out recommenders – often they have to be teachers or counselors – who know them well
Chu notes that “admissions officers still want to see test scores if possible” and that high marks will only help. Plus, strong scores can lead to scholarships, in some cases, experts say. A good ACT or SAT score varies by college, and Chu encourages students to look at a college’s first-year student profile to determine admission goals.
SAT-takers are allowed four free score reports each time they register for the exam. Students can select
and can comment not just on their academic abilities but also their personal qualities and achievements, Chu says. Students should request letters of recommendation well before the application deadline. Chu advises at least two months in advance.
“The more time students can give the authors of those recommendations, I think the more thorough and helpful those recommendations are going to be for us,” Barron says.
A good rule of thumb is for students to provide recommenders with a copy of their resume to help them cover all these bases, Heckman says. This will help them add color to your letter.
Information on Extracurricular Activities
College applications give students the chance to provide information on the extracurricular activities they participated in while in high school. In this section, students should detail all of the ways they spend their time outside of class, Barron says. This includes structured activities like sports or clubs, as well as family obligations such as caring for siblings or part-time employment, she says.
Some admissions officers spend significant time evaluating this section, Jones says, but he adds this is often the
most overlooked part of the application. Many students rush through it and don’t thoroughly explain the extent to which they were involved in an activity. Be sure to explain any leadership roles or accomplishments, he says.
“The extracurriculars are the things that they spend their entire high school career doing that lead up to these wonderful moments and accolades over time,” says Jones. “So take the time and be detailed.”
Look into Getting the Application Fee Waived
There are several ways students from low-income families can submit college applications for free.
Students who received SAT or ACT test fee waivers are eligible for college application fee waivers from the testing companies. The College Board sends such waivers automatically to students. Not all schools accept these waivers, but many do.
Similarly, the ACT has a fee waiver request form students and school counselors can fill out and send to colleges. The National Association for College Admission Counseling also offers a fee waiver request form.
In addition, eligible students can request a fee waiver
culture and community and understand how they may or may not fit in. While it’s not part of the formal application process, exploring a college can help students determine which schools to apply to. (For tips on how to make the most out of your college visit, see page 22.)
Such visits, Chu says, offer a “glimpse into a day in the life” of students living and learning on those campuses. But in the absence of the opportunity to visit – say, due to cost
within the body of some college applications, including the Common App.
There are other times schools waive application fees, and not just for low-income students. Students can sometimes get an application fee waived by participating in instant decision day events at their high school or on a college’s campus. Applicants should also keep an eye out for free application periods in some states, when some colleges waive fees to apply.
Use a College Visit to Decide Where to Apply
A common piece of advice offered by admissions consultants and college officials alike is to tour a campus. Visiting a college can help prospective students get a sense of the
restrictions or other travel limitations – students should consider virtual tours, which emerged as a popular option for applicants due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Thanks to advancements in online tools, students can get a good look at what the college has to offer. While virtual tours may offer fewer opportunities to make personal connections, students should still attempt to forge them.
“Virtual visits can be the next best thing” to an in-person tour, Barron notes. She also encourages applicants to “check college websites for offerings and opportunities to connect virtually with current students, admission staff, professors, coaches and others.” l
The Problem: A third of college students end up spending time and money on remedial math courses that don’t count toward their degrees because they lack sufficient math skills.
The Solution: Precalculus is one of the most powerful math courses in American high schools—taking it increases a student’s likelihood of completing a bachelor’s degree by 155%.
The Power of AP Precalculus
AP® Precalculus is a different type of AP course. It’s designed for every student who’s ready to take precalculus in high school and can be offered in place of your current precalculus or trigonometry course. AP Precalculus students can earn college credit, advanced placement, or both, and they have more time with their teacher to better develop content knowledge and skills. They get 140 hours of time with their AP teacher versus about 48 hours in a traditional college course and in a smaller, familiar setting.

The Low-GPA Game Plan
Even if grades aren’t where you want them to be, you can still get accepted into college
by Briana Boyington and U.S. News staff
AS A HIGH SCHOOL student in Tennessee, Austin Herrera knew he wanted to go to college. But with grades ranging from A’s to D’s, he also knew that his options would be limited. Herrera says he was too distracted in school and that his reputation as a class clown and lack of interest and effort led to a lower-than-desired GPA.
Dyslexia was another hurdle that affected Herrera’s grades and confidence. “I doubted myself and then sort of gave up on myself when I saw the grades that I had, because I would work hard and study, but I still came out with a low grade,” he says.
Herrera switched high schools his senior year and took advantage of the fresh start to change direction and focus on the future. Realizing that his past academic problems would affect his college admission chances, he used his personal statement to acknowledge his grades, discuss his learning disability and show his interest in studying business and film. “I explained dyslexia – what it was and how I learned – and that I’m a very hard worker and passionate,” he says. Herrera was accepted into two of the five schools he applied to and went on to study film at Columbia College Chicago.
For students who struggle academically in high school, the college application process can be especially stressful. A low GPA can prevent teens from getting accepted into top universities – like the Ivy League schools – and other selective colleges, but there are still options.
Admissions experts say high schoolers can explain an academic dip in their college applications and spend the rest of their senior year making their applications more appealing. Students should talk to a counselor to examine the full range of their options, but the following six strategies can help those with poor grades significantly strengthen their college applications.
Take Responsibility and Offer an Explanation for the Low GPA
There are many reasons a student’s grades can drop, including family issues, illness, a switch in teachers during the year or a lack of maturity. Admissions officials recognize that an applicant’s GPA isn’t always an indicator of capability, but say that students need to write an honest explanation about their grades.
“Everybody makes mistakes; there’s not one perfect person out there. But how do you learn from those mistakes? If you can explain it thoughtfully and in a mature way, oftentimes a college is going to understand that,” says Kat Cohen, CEO and founder of IvyWise, an educational consulting company based in New York.
Students can discuss poor grades in a college application essay, also called a personal statement, or in the additional information field on the Common Application. “Anything that the student can provide to explain their GPA would be helpful,” says Monica Brockmeyer, CEO and founder of Change By Degrees Consulting, which helps urban, public universities and higher ed professionals attract diversity, increase retention and grow graduation rates. “They should be transparent, because their GPA is already visible to admissions officers through their transcripts. Colleges already know, so they’re looking to understand the situation and circumstances better.”
Get Recommendation Letters From Teachers and Counselors
A good word from a high school counselor or teacher who knows a student well can go a long way in college admissions, experts say. “Sometimes a great letter of recommendation can come from a teacher who has seen a student greatly improve their grade from very low to very high, even if the student has higher grades in other classes,” Cohen says. High school students should develop close relationships with counselors and teachers and have an explicit discussion about what they would like addressed before a letter is written, experts say.
Get Good Standardized Test Scores
High ACT or SAT scores won’t cancel out a low GPA, but in addition to a good explanation and recommendation letters, high test scores can help students show that they have the ability to succeed in college. Jeffrey Baylor, vice chancellor for enrollment management admissions at The University of Virginia’s College at Wise, says that a holistic review of an applicant will factor in test scores, GPA, class rank, recommendations, extracurricular activities and the high school curriculum.
Wait to Apply and Improve Your GPA
Early admission is extremely competitive, so experts recommend that students with poor grades on their transcripts apply during regular admission and use the extra time to take challenging courses and improve their GPA. “Focusing on your grades now is critical. There are lots of different ways to improve your grades,” Cohen says. Students should use their teachers as tutors, visiting them frequently to discuss what to focus on and what weaknesses to address, she says.
Consider Alternative Admissions Programs
For those eyeing a four-year college, an alternative admissions program may be the way in. If a student’s GPA is below the school’s standards, he or she may still be admitted under certain conditions.
As part of these alternative admissions programs, students receive additional academic support throughout their first year of college and beyond, depending on the curriculum. “It provides them with a transition period between high school and college to really understand how college learning is different from high school learning, to get extended support or even some remediation of writing skills, mathematics skills or other barriers,” Brockmeyer explains.
Start at a Community College
For students without the academic background needed for a four-year institution, admissions officials recommend attending a community college. That’s especially true if students need to catch up on developmental coursework.
Baylor says certain schools advise that underperforming students consider attending community college in the summer after high school graduation and completing six hours of college-level credit while earning a C or better in those courses. He also says that students should consider attending a community college in the fall or spring semester, earn 12 hours of college-level credit with a 2.0 minimum GPA and then apply to a four-year college as a transfer student.
Admissions officials want to make sure applicants will be able to thrive in college, and that time in a community college can help demonstrate that a student is ready for universitylevel coursework. It also gives students with a bad GPA the time to prove that their past poor grades aren’t indicative of who they are now and their capabilities as college students. l

What Your High School Counselor Wants You to Know
School counselors have a wealth of information about scholarships, financial aid and deadlines
by Cole Claybourn
SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL can feel like a dizzying array of applications, deadlines, exams and tours. While some prospective college students may choose to seek advice about the application process from siblings, relatives or friends who have gone through it, many will turn to their school counselors for answers. With access to information about scholarships, financial aid, application deadlines and requirements, school counselors can alert students to opportunities and help them stay organized while they complete their college applications.
But with hundreds of students to work with, school counselors have limitations. The American School Counselor Association recommends
a 250:1 student-to-counselor ratio, but says the national average for the 20222023 school year was 385-to-1. That’s why many counselors say it’s imperative that students reach out proactively for help. One way to do this: Create a list of questions for your school counselor.
“It’s OK to say, ‘I’m lost and I need your help.’ That’s what we want you to say,” says Jill Brock, a school counselor at Liberty North High School in Missouri. “Otherwise we’re kind of assuming you have it, when in the back of your mind you have no idea what you’re doing.”
Turn the page for eight questions students should ask their school counselors when applying to college.
Your counselor is an important resource during high school.
8 Questions to Ask Your Counselor
1. Where Do I Start?
For students who have no context for a college application, knowing where to start can be an intimidating experience. Your counselor can help put together a to-do list for applying to colleges, which might range from creating a list of schools you’re interested in to getting letters of recommendation.
It’s equally important to know when to start, says Samuel Payan, a school counselor at Morton High School in Hammond, Indiana. The answer to that, he says, is early. This helps to ensure that students will have all of the necessary elements to meet application and scholarship deadlines. “That, to me, has been the most important thing because our students do need more help, and more help usually comes in the beginning,” says Payan. “If you apply early, there’s usually more money available to those students than those who apply late.”
2. What’s the Actual Cost of My Desired School?
Financial hardship is one of the leading causes of students dropping out of college. Prospective students want to know what financial burden they will be placing on themselves or their families, counselors say.
Much of that will depend on what type of school a student plans to attend – whether it’s a two-year or fouryear school – which is why cost is one of the first things students should ask their counselors about, Payan says. This also invites a conversation about student loans and the long-term implications those could have.
3. What Financial Aid or Scholarships Do I Qualify for?
Students who qualify as low-income or a first-generation college-goer might be eligible for thousands of dollars in scholarships. Asking counselors where to look for those is vital, Brock says.
In fact, new data shows that students who met with their counselor were more likely to receive financial aid. Roughly 67% of students who had met with a high school counselor received need-based grants, compared with 45% of students who hadn’t met with a counselor. (The research found no significant difference in how meeting with a counselor affected merit-based grants, which are based on a student’s skill or ability.)
Students should also seek out other money-saving methods like application fee waivers and grants. “Oftentimes, students are just going to do a Google search,” says Brock. “But there are some great databases and organizations that house a large majority of this scholar-
ship information, so we want them to know about those.”
4. What Are All of My Options?
Four-year colleges and universities aren’t the only options available to students. There are also two-year programs like community colleges and trade schools. Counselors say it’s crucial that students understand what’s out there so they can make an informed decision on what’s best for their future and career goals.
Many students may not want to go to a four-year college. If that sounds like you, that’s fine! But before you shrug off the idea of college entirely, remember that it doesn’t need to be a four-year commitment. You may want to consider a two-year college, online programs or certificate pathways.
5. How Can I Make My Application Stand Out?
Payan says he commonly sees his students selling themselves short on their college applications and personal essays. A transcript that boasts Advanced Placement or honors courses and extracurriculars will go a long way on its own merit, he says, but students should think deeper about accomplishments or aspects of their life that might differentiate them from other applicants.
Students should make a point to mention responsibilities they have, like working a job or taking care of siblings, he says, because schools look on those favorably. They may also consider highlighting personal hardships in their essays, since those experiences can help show off your strengths.
6. What Kinds of Cultural Programs and Resources Are Offered at the Colleges I’m Applying to?
Students might benefit from attending colleges that offer extracurriculars and social clubs that allow them to find community with others like them, Payan says. They can ask counselors to help them discover what clubs and organizations different colleges offer.
7. Will My AP or Dual Enrollment Credits Transfer to My Desired College?
While some colleges offer credit or waive prerequisites for high scores on AP exams, others – particularly selective schools – limit the amount of credit they will offer or don’t offer credit at all. Your counselor can help you figure out where the colleges that you’re applying to stand on the situation.
8. How Many Colleges Should I Apply to?
Experts disagree on a “magic number” of schools that you should apply to. The College Board says applying to between five and eight colleges is typically enough, but that number will vary by student. At the end of the day, this is a personal decision. School counselors can help students refine their lists. l

Ready to tackle your college essay? U.S. News invited several experts to share their tips for success
by Kelly Mae Ross and Devon Haynie
NOT ONLY IS THE COLLEGE ESSAY a place to showcase your writing skills, it’s also one of the only parts of a college application where your unique voice and personality can shine through. “The essays are important in part because this is a student’s chance to really speak directly to the admissions office,” says Adam Sapp, assistant vice president and director of admissions at Pomona College in California.
Needing to make a memorable impression in only several hundred words can feel like a lot of pressure. “I think this is the part of the application process that students are sometimes most challenged by,” says Niki Barron, associate dean of admission at Hamilton College in New York. “They’re looking at a blank piece of paper and they don’t know where to get started.”
Experts emphasize the importance of being concise, coherent, congenial, honest and accurate. You should also flex some intellectual muscle and include vivid details or anecdotes (see sample essays, Page 110).
A good time to begin working on your essay is the summer before senior year, experts say, when homework and extracurricular activities aren’t taking up time and mental energy. Starting early will allow you to work through multiple drafts before deadlines, which can be as early as November for students applying for early decision or early action.
Students can go online to review the requirements of colleges they
want to apply to, such as essay topics and word limits. Many students may start with the Common App, an application platform accepted by some 1000 schools.
Along with the main essay, some colleges ask applicants to submit one or more additional writing samples. Students are often asked to explain why they are interested in a particular school or academic field in these supplemental essays. You’ll want to budget more time for the writing process if the schools you’re applying to ask for supplemental essays.
The Common App – which students can submit to multiple colleges – asks for a main essay cap of 650 words. The word count is much shorter for institution-specific supplemental essays, typically around 250 words.
The first and sometimes most daunting step in the writing process is figuring out what to write about. There are usually several essay prompts to choose from, and they tend to be broad, open-ended questions,
giving students the freedom to take their response in many directions, Barron says.
The essay shouldn’t be an autobiography, notes Mimi Doe, co-founder of the counseling firm Top Tier Admissions. Rather, students should narrow their focus and write about a specific experience, hobby or quirk that reveals something about how they think, what they value or what their strengths are.
Students can also write about something that illustrates an aspect of their background. It doesn’t have to be a major achievement, which is a common misconception. Even an essay on a seemingly mundane topic can be compelling when handled well. Admissions officers who spoke with U.S. News cited memorable essays that focused on fly-fishing, a student’s commute to and from school, and a family’s dining room table.
What’s most important, experts say, is that a college essay be thoughtful and tell a
story that offers insight into who a student is as a person. No matter what topic students choose, they’ll ultimately be writing about themselves, says Ethan Sawyer, founder of the College Essay Guy website, which offers essay-writing resources. “What we think of as the topic is just the frame or the lens that we’re using to get into other parts of you,” he notes.
If students are having trouble brainstorming potential topics, they can ask friends or family members for help, suggests Stephanie Klein Wassink, founder of Winning Applications and AdmissionsCheckup, Connecticut-based college admissions advising companies. Wassink says students can ask peers or family members questions such as, “What do you think differentiates me?” Or, “What are my quirks?”
Finally, the essay should tell college admissions officers something they don’t already know. Make sure you’re writing about something that isn’t mentioned elsewhere in your application, or expand greatly on the topic if it is noted elsewhere.
Some experts encourage students to think through what they want to say by outlining their essay before jumping into the actual writing. But there isn’t one correct way of doing things, says Sara Newhouse, former vice president for admission and financial planning at Birmingham-Southern College in Alabama, which officially closed in May 2024. “Your writing process is your own,” she says. Newhouse suggests using whatever process worked for you when completing
writing assignments for English and other high school classes.
The first draft of an essay doesn’t need to be perfect. “Just do a brain dump,” Doe advises. “Don’t edit yourself, just lay it all out on the page.” If you’re having a hard time getting started, focus on the opening sentence, Doe suggests. An essay’s opening sentence, or hook, should grab the reader’s attention, she says. Doe offers an example of a strong hook from the essay of a student she worked with: “I first got into politics the day
the cafeteria outlawed creamed corn.”
“I want to know about this kid,” she says. “I’m interested.” Admissions officers are also gauging writing skills. So you’ll want to make sure to submit your best work. “The best writing is rewriting,” Sapp says. “You should never be giving me your first draft.”
It’s a good idea to make sure your writing is showing, not telling, Doe says. This means giving readers examples that
Two Essays That Worked
What makes a college admissions essay successful? Below are two submissions that helped students get into Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, plus commentary from Ellen Kim, dean of undergraduate admissions, about what these applicants did right. Remember, Kim advises, that “what works in these essays works because of who the student is” and how it fits into the rest of the application. In other words, you’ll want to apply these principles to a topic that reveals something intriguing about you.
“This title is interesting,” Kim says. “But it’s up to students to decide whether they want to title an essay.” If nothing brilliant comes to mind, then you can skip.
The author takes a straightforward approach to starting, Kim says. “But you can tell you are going to get to know her.”
Many personal statements include short scenes, Kim notes. But the strongest essays are the ones that put those anecdotes toward a larger purpose, as the author does here. “She is helping us understand where she is in her journey with Italian,” Kim says. “It’s not just being descriptive for the sake of being descriptive.”
More Than Thick Eyebrows
By Caroline
south,
The author chose to write about something very accessible and approachable, Kim notes. “Everyone can relate to family heritage,” she says. “It would have been very easy to talk about the members of the family, but she does a good job of making it say something about herself,” which is the goal.
In this paragraph, Kim says, “We learn not just about her intellectual appetite for something, but also about what she does when she is passionate.”
Rarely have I studied a topic that flows from my ears to my brain to my tongue as easily as the Italian language. The Italian blood that runs through me is more than the genetics that gave me my dark hair and thick eyebrows. It is the work of the generation that traveled from Istria in the north and Sicilia in the south, meeting through friends in Chicago, and encouraging their children to study hard and make a living for their future families. In time, that influence would be passed on to me; finding my grandfather’s meticulously-written electricity notes circa 1935 – filled with drawings and words I did not yet understand – inspired me to take Italian at my own high school.
The moment I realized that my Italian heritage was wholly a part of me was a rather insignificant one, yet to me is one of the most remarkable realizations of my life. The summer after my second year of Italian study, I was driving in my car, listening to a young trio of Italian teenagers, meaning “The Flight.” As one of the tenors sang a solo, Ti voglio tanto bene, I realized that I could understand every word he was singing. Though it was a simple declaration of love and devotion in a beautiful tune, what mattered was that I was not just listening to three cute teenagers sing a song. I was fully engaged with the words and could finally sing along.
Il Volo I I singing.that three cute I Cinema Paradiso now call . More I sixth-grade grandfather, despite a degree only to consume it. want every means, and visit the town Italian language holds myvernacular learn. Italian is I dear
After that moment, I sought out all the Italian I could get my hands on: watching and La Dolce Vita, absorbing phrases of the language I felt I could now call my own. Even better, was that I felt confident enough in my skill that I could use it with my closest living Italian relative, my father’s mother, la mia nonna. More than speaking the language, I discovered my family’s past. In conversing with her and my father, I discovered that I will be only the third person in my paternal grandparents’ family to attend college, that my grandmother had only a sixth-grade education, that my grandfather, despite never holding a degree in mathematics or physics, worked for three decades on CTA train cars as an electrician. The marriage of my grandparents in 1952 represented a synthesis of the culture of northern and southern Italy and America. Having now studied three full years of this language, I only want to consume more of it. I want to read Dante’s Divina Commedia in its original vernacular, to watch my favorite Italian films without the subtitles, to sing every Italian refrain with fluid understanding of what the melody means, and to finally – finally! – visit my grandparents’ childhood homes: the town of Trapani in Sicilia and the Istrian peninsula on the Adriatic coast. To me, the Italian language holds an essential connection to my past, but also a constant goal for the future. It is likely that I will never fully master the vernacular and colloquialisms, yet learning this language will stimulate me intellectually and culturally for life. I believe I can claim Italian as mine now, but there is still so much more to learn. Italian is a gift that I will hold dear forever, and I am glad that I received it so early in life.
“This is a good way to close the essay, by describing why this matters to who she is as a person,” Kim says.
prove you embody certain traits or beliefs, as opposed to just stating that you do.
After proofing your essay, seek outside editing help, experts recommend. While there are individuals and companies that offer assistance for a fee – from editing services to essay-writing boot camps – someone from among your peers, teachers, school counselors and family members may be willing to help you polish your essay. Newhouse says
String Theory
By Joanna
it works well to have other people proofread an essay in two stages, looking first for information gaps – anything they are confused about. Once the content is nailed down, the second proofing stage should focus on style, grammar, punctuation and spelling. But “don’t let anyone edit out your voice,” Doe cautions.
And while proofreading is fair game, having someone else rewrite your essay is not. l
Students should try to grab the reader’s attention at the first sentence. “Her opening paragraph is interesting,” says Kim. “You read it, and you aren’t sure what the essay is going to be about. It makes you curious about what she is going to tell you.”
This past summer, I applied for my very first job at a small, busy bakery and café in my neighborhood. I knew that if I were hired there, I would learn how to use a cash register, prepare sandwiches, and take cake orders. I imagined that my biggest struggle would be catering to demanding New Yorkers, but I never thought that it would be the benign act of tying a box that would become both my biggest obstacle and greatest teacher.
On my first day of work in late August, one of the bakery’s employees hastily explained the procedure. It seemed simple: wrap the string around your hand, then wrap it three times around the box both ways, and knot it. I recited the anthem in my head, “three times, turn it, three times, knot” until it became my mantra. After observing multiple employees, it was clear that anyone tying the box could complete it in a matter of seconds. For weeks, I labored endlessly, only to watch the strong and small pieces of my pride unravel each time I tried. As I rushed to discreetly shove half-tied cake boxes into plastic bags, I could not help but wonder what was wrong with me. I have learned Mozart arias, memorized the functional groups in organic chemistry, and calculated the anti-derivatives of functions that I will probably never use in real life – all with a modest amount of energy. For some reason though, after a month’s effort, tying string around a cake box still left me in a quandary. As the weeks progressed, my skills slowly began to improve. Of course there were days when I just wanted to throw all of the string in the trash and use Scotch tape; this sense of defeat was neither welcome nor wanted, but remarks like “Oh, you must be new” from snarky customers catapulted my determination to greater heights. It should be more difficult to develop an internal pulse and sense of legato in a piece of music than it is to find the necessary rhythm required to tie a box, but this seemingly trivial task has clearly proven not to be trivial at all. The difficulties that I encountered trying to keep a single knot intact are proof of this. The lack of cooperation between my coordination and my understanding left me frazzled, but the satisfaction I felt when I successfully tied my first box was almost as great as any I had felt before. Scientists developing string theory say that string can exist in a straight line, but it can also bend, oscillate, or break apart. I am thankful that the string I work with is not quite as temperamental, but I still cringe when someone asks for a chocolate mandel bread. Supposedly, the string suggested in string theory is responsible for unifying general relativity with quantum physics. The only thing I am responsible for when I use string is delivering someone’s pie to them without the box falling apart. Tying a cake box may not be quantum physics, but it is just as crucial to holding together what matters. I am beginning to realize that I should not be ashamed if it takes me longer to learn. I persist, and I continue to tie boxes every weekend at work. Even though I occasionally backslide into feelings of exasperation, I always rewrap the string around my hand and start over because I have learned that the most gratifying victories come from tenacity. If the universe really is comprised of strings, I am confident that I will be able to tie them together, even if I do have to keep my fingers crossed that my knots hold up.
If string theory is really true, then the entire world is made up of strings, and I cannot tie a single one.
“A lot of times students feel like they need to write an essay about a life accomplishment or a life-changing event or something really extraordinary,” Kim says. “But it’s also possible to write a very effective personal statement about an ordinary thing. It’s not the topic that has to be unique. It’s what you say that has to be unique.”
The author does a good job of providing a window into her thought process, Kim notes. “You also see how she responds to a challenge in a very approachable way.”
In this instance, dropping in some academic references works with the theme of the essay, but students shouldn’t think they have to follow suit, Kim cautions. It only works if it reinforces your central point.
Personal statements are called “personal” for a reason,
observes. They should tell the admissions committee something about the student. This essay does a good job of wrapping up the piece on a personal note.
This essay, like all strong essays, was well-written, clear and error-free, Kim notes. The writing felt natural - not as though the author was reaching for a thesaurus. “This should sound like you,” she says.

Ace the Entrance Exams
Turbocharge your SAT and ACT test prep with an expert-approved game plan
by U.S. News Staff
WHEN THE PANDEMIC hit in 2020, the cancellation of numerous testing sessions caused many colleges to reconsider the importance of the SAT and ACT. Now, many schools have switched to being test-optional, and some don’t consider standardized test scores at all. But student interest in taking the tests is still high, and submitting your score could boost your application or help you qualify for scholarships. Turbocharge your test prep with this game plan, straight from the experts:
1. Find Out if You Can Test for Free
The SAT and ACT can cost more than $60 apiece. While some states cover the costs of admissions exams for public school students, that isn’t true across the nation. Look into fee waivers. School counselors can help guide you through the process of obtaining them. Eligible students may be able to get more than one waiver in order to test twice gratis.
2. Decide Between the SAT and ACT
While the exams are similar, they have a few key differences. For example, the ACT includes a science section, but the SAT does not. Before choosing between the two, take a practice test for each exam. Then focus on studying for whichever one you scored better on.
3. Set SAT and ACT Goals for Junior Year
Some experts advise that juniors use the fall to decide on a test date, taking into account other academic and personal commitments. Winter
break is a great time to zero in on study strategies, especially if you’ve already taken an exam and can learn from the results. Spring of junior year is ideal for taking a second test, working around your other obligations.
4. Register for Early Testing Sessions
By taking the SAT or ACT as soon as possible in your junior or senior year, you’ll have more opportunities to retest if you’re unsatisfied with your scores. Though the role of these exams has been reduced as more colleges go test-optional, knowing where your scores land can offer a sense of your odds of admission at target schools that still consider these exams when vetting applicants.
5. Understand How Your Test Scores Will Be Evaluated
Study college admissions websites carefully to determine a school’s stance on test results. Do schools have test-optional or testblind policies? Test-optional means that scores are not required but colleges will still consider exam results if submitted.
Test-blind means that scores are neither required nor considered if submitted as part of an application.
6. Select the Right Test Prep Course
SAT and ACT test prep courses can vary, from class size and teaching style to in-person and virtual options. Think about how much help you will need studying for the exam, how much you can pay for a class and what your ideal learning environment is, among other factors. Consider free alternatives such as Khan Academy, an official test prep partner of the College Board, which offers the SAT.
7. Explore Other Test Prep Resources
While test prep classes are one way to get ready, other options are available that can cost a lot less. Libraries, for example, often stock test prep materials. You can also ask for help from your teachers, who may provide feedback on draft essays or recommend practice math problems. Ask teachers to identify which test content will be lightly
Talk with friends about their SAT or ACT experience. Their feedback could inform your own test prep.
covered or not taught in class, how to find personalized study materials and how to form study groups with classmates to prepare for college admissions exams.
8. Ask Fellow Test-Takers About Their Experience
Friends, siblings and classmates who have taken the SAT or ACT can be invaluable resources. Inquire about their challenges on these exams, such as what surprised them most, how they would approach their preparation differently and what study techniques they found most effective.
9.
Unpack Your Practice Test Results
After taking a practice test, dig into your performance and identify areas for improvement. But don’t focus on the score alone – it doesn’t tell the whole story. You can also look for patterns in incorrect answers so you can work on those trouble spots, determine whether you are grappling with test anxiety (and learn how to combat it) and consider how your schedule is impacting your performance. For example, are poor sleep habits or studying at odd hours making test prep harder than it needs to be?
10. Work on Timing
Knowing the answers isn’t enough to excel on the SAT or ACT because there’s also a time limit to consider. Dawdling will likely affect the end result, leaving you with unanswered questions and a lower score than you could have earned. Timing advice includes spending no more than 60 seconds on math questions, skimming reading sections for context (look at the questions and then read more in-depth as needed) and trusting your instincts when it comes to the language sections of both exams.
11. Reject Myths About Standardized Tests
One common fallacy is that subpar SAT or ACT scores can automatically tank your chances of getting into your dream school. But test scores are only one part of the application puzzle (for schools that still consider them, of course).
A 2023 survey of admissions officers conducted by the National Association for College Admission Counseling found that test scores tend to matter less than the rigor of your high school curriculum as well as your grades in high school and college prep courses. Keep in mind that even students with perfect test scores are sometimes turned away because they don’t have any other features that set them apart, experts say. l

Your College Search: A To-Do List
AS A HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMAN, it’s never too early to make good decisions. Are you a sophomore, junior or senior? It is never too late to make good decisions! Planning is essential to setting and realizing goals. And smart strategizing over the course of your high school career can deliver strong college options down the road. To help you grow inside and outside the classroom, we’ve created a four-year calendar designed to put you on the path to success. Ready, set, go! –by Ned Johnson
Freshman Year
LISTEN AND OBSERVE. This year, you’ll be faced with more challenging class work, so it’s crucial that you pay attention to what your new teachers expect from you. Look for ways to work smarter and create study routines that match the increased course load. Grades are important, but seek balance so that you are challenged without being overwhelmed. Remember to ask for help if you need it – it’s a vital life skill that you’ll need to use in the coming years.
Get involved. High school is not a four-year audition for college but rather a time in which to develop yourself. Beyond grades, social connections and extracurriculars are just as important. Use activities like part-time jobs, community service, arts and music and STEM clubs to engage with others.
Read voraciously. Dive into whatever you can get your hands on – books, newspapers, magazines and blogs. Find new ways to explore subjects that captivate you. Additionally, check out TED Talks, podcasts, YouTube videos and free online courses. It’s a wealth of knowledge that will expand your mind and prepare you for the next four years.
Find mentors. Look for knowledgeable people who can offer advice, such as teachers, coaches, counselors and friends. These relationships can pay off in other ways, like getting a personalized letter of recommendation to go with your college application. People like to help students they know, and having a mentor in college is one of the best predictors of success. Start cultivating your connections now and see the benefits later.
Schedule downtime. That means real time to unwind, so no phones or screens. We all need time to daydream and think about ourselves and our place in the world. Letting your mind wander is scientifically proven to spark creative ideas and “ah-ha!” insights. Go for a walk or practice meditation or mindfulness. There are plenty of ways to use unscheduled time to renew and recharge.
Identify ways to relieve stress. For high school and especially in college, you’ll need a sustainable model for success that includes healthy ways to ease stress. Adopt habits that enhance your well-being, such as eating nutritiously, making movement a priority and clocking enough shut-eye. Developing these healthy habits gives you coping mechanisms that will help you now and during your post-high school years.
Sophomore Year
KEEP EVOLVING AS A LEARNER. Learning isn’t just about grades and test scores. Successful lives are a combination of what you like and what you’re good at. Pay attention to your strengths and interests. Find ways to develop both.
Challenge yourself (wisely).
Strive for strong grades and take on new challenges inside the classroom and out. Avoid overtaxing yourself. Balance is the goal. You should have parts of your life that don’t demand max effort.
Speak up in class. College is all about the exchange of ideas between professors and peers. Critical thinking and the ability to articulate your views are skills that contribute to college success. Now’s the time to “speak outside the box!”
Sleep. The teen brain needs eight to 10 hours of sleep to be at its best.
Junior Year
ESSAYS, TESTS AND AP EXAMS, OH MY!
Your grades, test scores and activities this year form a large part of what colleges consider for admission. Prepare for your exams, do your best in class, and stay active and involved. Above all, don’t skimp on sleep! It’s good for everything, including test scores.
Plot out your calendar. Talk with your parents and counselor about which exams to take and when. If your 10th-grade PSAT scores put you in reach of a National Merit Scholarship, concentrated early prep time for the PSAT/ NMSQT might be worth it. Then take the SAT or ACT. When it comes to test-optional colleges, good scores can help but they aren’t a must-have. You may be able to share AP exam scores to show your mas-
Senior Year
DON’T SLACK OFF. Yes, colleges look at senior-year transcripts, so keep working hard in your classes. After all, you are also still learning.
Finish testing. If necessary, you can retake the SAT or ACT in the early fall. Check the admissions testing policies of your target schools. Are they test-optional or do they require you to submit SAT or ACT scores? It may be strategic to share scores with some schools but not others.
Know your deadlines.
Many colleges have multiple deadline options. Consider the implications of early action and early, rolling or regular decision – and confirm the rules and deadlines for financial aid – so you can plan accordingly. An early admission (rolling or otherwise)
And, since a lack of sleep elevates stress hormones, make sleep a priority to keep stress in check. Creating a consistent, calming bedtime routine can help.
Refine your route. Look ahead to 11th- and 12th-grade courses and plan for any prerequisites. Take advantage of rigorous classes that align with your interests, strengths and academic path.
Learn from the masters. Find people who work in areas that appeal to you. A 20-minute conversation with a professional could even turn into a fruitful internship opportunity.
Create an activities list. Keep track of your hobbies, jobs, extracurriculars and accomplishments. This will form your résumé. Seeing the “through line” of your time outside of class can offer valuable perspective.
tery of material instead of, or in addition to, an ACT or SAT score.
Immerse yourself in activities.
Junior year is the time to demonstrate leadership in the extracurriculars you enjoy. These are opportunities to grow intellectually and socially, and to show you are dedicated and play well with others.
Build your college list in the spring. Once you have a sense of your grades and have received your test scores, if any, talk to a counselor and map out your target, reach and likely schools. Start with a broad list and narrow it as you learn more about what you want in a school and what colleges offer. Explore www.usnews.com/best-colleges, studentaid.gov and other resources. Don’t forget to clean up your social media (like Instagram, TikTok and Threads) since admissions folks may visit your accounts.
can lower stress. A mix of deadlines also means applications aren’t due all at once.
Apply. Craft your essays with a well-thought-out narrative. Complete applications carefully. Review a copy of your transcript. Have you displayed an upward trend that should be discussed? Does an anomaly need context? Chat with your counselor about any issues. Leave time to reread essays and fix any errors.
Follow up. Check that colleges have received records and recs from your high school – and your SAT/ACT scores from the testing organization. About a month after you submit your application, log into each of your application portals (or call colleges) to be sure that your file is complete.
Confirm aid rules. Check with each college for its specific application
Make your summer matter. Work, volunteer, play sports, travel or take a class. Research summer programs and internships to move beyond the scope of your high school courses. You’re not just pursuing activities to apply to college but developing skills to apply in college.
Settle on a testing strategy and test-prep plan. Use your PSAT scores and practice tests to help select the right test for you (i.e., SAT vs. ACT). Not a great test-taker? With many colleges now test-optional, the tests are something you may want – but not need – to take.
Talk about how much you can and want to pay for college. An acceptance letter with a price tag that breaks the bank will not help you. Early conversations with your family and counselor can help determine a strategy that works for you and your budget.
Visit and connect.
Ideally you can check out a few campuses in person; if not, make use of school websites and webinars. Attend college fairs and information sessions, if possible. Grab the admissions rep’s card and follow up via email with a thank-you note or with questions whose answers aren’t available on the college website. Demonstrate interest to colleges by taking interest in programs, activities and professors. Identify specific reasons you want to go to that particular college.
Get recommendations.
Right after spring break, ask two teachers with different perspectives on your performance if they will write letters for you. Choose teachers who know you and will effectively communicate your academic and personal qualities.
requirements for financial aid. Dates and forms may vary.
Make a choice. Try to visit or even revisit the colleges where you’ve been accepted before committing. Talk with alumni; attend an accepted-student reception. Then make your college choice official by sending in your deposit. Congrats, you made it! l

Methodology: To be eligible, national universities, liberal arts colleges, regional universities and regional colleges all had to be numerically ranked among the top 90 percent of their categories in the 2025 Best Colleges rankings. They had to admit a meaningful proportion of non-A students, as indicated by fall 2023 admissions data on high school class standing and SAT evidence-based reading and writing and math scores or composite ACT scores. The cutoffs were: The 75th percentile for the SAT had to be less than or equal to 1,350; the 25th percentile, greater than or equal to 980. The ACT composite range: less than or equal to 30 and greater than or equal to 20. The proportion of freshmen from the top 10% of their high school class had to be less than or equal to 50% (for national universities and liberal arts colleges only); for all schools, the proportion of freshmen from the top 25% of their high school class had to be less than or equal to 80%, and greater than or equal to 40% in all the ranking categories. Average freshman retention rates for all schools had to be greater than or equal to 75%. Average high school GPA itself was not used in the calculations identifying A-plus schools. N/A means not available. SAT/ACT scores reflect fall 2023 admissions. For determining eligible schools, fall 2022 data were used when fall 2023 data were reported on less than half the incoming class and fall 2022 data had been reported on at least half the incoming class.

Understanding how financial aid is doled out can help you maximize your chances – and your award
by Farran Powell, Emma Kerr and Sarah Wood
NEWS YOU CAN USE
WHILE THE STICKER price of a year in college can certainly be shocking, financial aid can go a long way in making that degree more affordable. In fact, income and savings are quite generously supplemented by other resources to cover college expenses, according to the 2023 Sallie Mae/Ipsos survey “How America Pays for College.” The survey found that for a typical family, scholarships and grants covered 29% of college costs in 2022-2023. Here, we round up answers to common questions about landing the best possible package:
How Does the Process of Applying for Financial Aid Work?
There are several categories of financial aid: Grants, scholarships, federal and private loans, and work-study and other programs. Your first step in going after such funds is to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. This application is used to determine your eligibility for federal aid and your “expected family contribution,” or EFC, the amount your family will be expected to pay. Many state agencies and colleges and universities use the FAFSA to determine how much they’ll offer as well.
The form is available for free through the Department of Education’s website, and families can begin filling it out as of
October 1 for the following academic year. The deadline for filing the FAFSA is June 30, though that cutoff is only for federal financial aid. Many schools that use the FAFSA to determine aid set earlier deadlines.
Some schools – mostly private colleges – rely on a supplemental form called the College Scholarship Service Profile to determine how to give out their own funds. The form is more detailed than the FAFSA and can be time-consuming to complete. The initial submission fee for the CSS Profile is $25 and each additional report costs $16, though fee waivers are available. A list of schools that require the CSS Profile is available on the website of the College Board, the organization that administers and maintains the application.
“Bear in mind, the CSS Profile will dig much deeper into your family’s finances than the FAFSA,” says Joseph Or-
solini, president of College Aid Planners Inc. For instance, it takes into account assets that are excluded on the FAFSA such as the value of a family’s home, small business or a grandparent-funded 529 plan.
What Are the Main Categories of Financial Aid?
There are two types of aid: need-based and merit-based. Federal need-based aid, for instance, is determined by a family’s demonstrated ability to pay for college as calculated by the FAFSA. Merit aid, on the other hand, can be awarded by an institution or private organization for a specific talent or athletic or academic ability. These awards aren’t based on financial need.
And because there’s no income cut-off, most students qualify for some type of federal student aid according to the Department of Education. This includes:
How to Appeal a Financial Aid Award
THE ESCALATING PRICE of college is a barrier for many prospective students, even with financial aid. In-state tuition and fees at public national universities, for instance, have increased by 211% over the last 20 years.
But in some cases, students can get extra money to pay for college by filing a financial aid appeal letter. “Families may be surprised how often colleges say ‘yes’ and send a few more thousand dollars their way as an enticement to enroll,” says Shannon Vasconcelos, senior director, Education Team, at Bright Horizons College Coach, an education consulting company.
If you’re not satisfied with your financial aid package or if your ability to pay for college has changed recently, experts offer these seven strategies for making a strong appeal:
Assess
Your Current Financial Circumstances
Applicants who experienced a significant change to their financial circumstances over the last two years – like layoffs or pay reductions – should consider filing an appeal. Other reasons to appeal include the death of a family member or an unexpected expense, such as a large medical bill.
“We do recognize that family situations have changed,” says Donna Kendall, associate vice president of enrollment and dean of undergraduate admission at Bentley University in Massachusetts. “There’s a lot of anxiety out there right now, even for families whose income hasn’t changed. Their expenses have gone up because everything is more expensive.”
You can file an appeal for both needbased and merit-based aid. However, Blaine Blontz, founder of Financial Aid Coach, has seen less effectiveness in appeals for additional merit-based aid lately, perhaps because total applications are up. However, he is hopeful that
the process will return to a more typical opportunity for families.
Don’t Call It a Negotiation
The word “negotiation” sounds like you’re bargaining at a bazaar or a car dealership, says Mark Kantrowitz, author of How to Appeal for More College Financial Aid. Instead, Blontz advises families to use the word “reconsideration” in letters and emails to colleges.
Have a Conversation with the
Financial Aid Office
If you’re filing a need-based appeal, send an introductory email to your financial aid counselor and request a time to talk by phone to discuss special circumstances, experts suggest.
“Having only emails back and forth and numbers on paper really doesn’t give the financial aid counselor a chance to understand what the situation is,” Kendall says.
For reconsideration, families will need to provide documentation, preferably from a third party, of any financial changes that affect their ability to pay for college. Schools use this information to recalculate the minimum that families are expected to pay for a year of college, a figure known as the “expected family contribution.”
Contact the Admissions Office
A school’s financial aid office only handles need-based aid, so reach out to the admissions office for merit-aid appeals.
Most additional awards granted by schools are scholarships.“I see a lot of appeals for merit scholarships that are really need-based appeals,” Kendall says. “When we ask a student why they are appealing for more scholarships, the answer is often because they can’t afford it, not because they think they deserve a higher scholarship.”
Families that have already been awarded some type of scholarship are more likely to get an increase in award money, Blontz says.
If your appeal is approved, be sure to confirm that the increase in merit aid is for all four years.
Use a Competing Offer
Some schools are willing to adjust a student’s award package to match a better offer from another college.
Terri O’Neill was able to increase her daughter’s merit aid at a private Boston college by $10,000. “We had received financial packages from several other schools that offered us more aid than the school in Boston,” she says.
Much of the merit aid will depend on the school’s endowment.
Hold Back on the Deposit
May 1, aka College Decision Day, is usually the last day for most first-year applicants to select a college. But experts say there isn’t a reason to commit before the deadline. Wait until you have a complete picture of all your financial aid offers to place a deposit.
“Once the college has the money, the family has lost leverage since the school assumes you’re coming,” Vasconcelos says, and the school might have more seats to fill and declined scholarships to offer closer to the deadline.
Appeal as Soon as You Know Your Needs
College financial aid and admissions offices are typically swamped with decisions and appeals around May 1. So if you want additional funding, don’t wait until right before the deadline to file an appeal – especially for merit-based aid.
At the same time, schools also understand that life happens, and sometimes financial circumstances change after a student has confirmed their spot. “We don’t want families to have to wait for the next academic year aid application cycle to appeal,” Kendall says. So students should, “at any time during the year, reach out to the financial aid office to see if there is the possibility of appealing. A school may be sympathetic to the appeal and want to do something, but they may not have the money to do it.”

l FEDERAL STUDENT LOANS. These are fixed-interest-rate loans from the government. The interest rate for each academic year is set on July 1, and that rate is secured for the life of the loan. At press time, the interest rate was 6.53% for undergraduate students.
Under the direct loan program, undergrads can borrow subsidized or unsubsidized loans up to $31,000 in total if they’re a dependent. An undergrad classified as independent can borrow up to $57,500 in total. Subsidized loans – meaning the government pays accumulating interest while you’re in school – are available to students with demonstrated need. Unsubsidized loans – you’re responsible for the accrued interest when repayment begins – are available to those who don’t qualify for need-based aid.
l FEDERAL GRANTS. This money doesn’t need to be repaid. Eligibility for the most well-known grant, the Pell Grant, is based on a family’s expected family contribution. Most Pell Grant recipients have an adjusted family income of $40,000 or less. The maximum Pell for the 2023-2024 school year is $7,395. A family with an EFC of zero, for example, will qualify for the full Pell.
l WORK-STUDY. This program provides part-time work, typically on campus, to help students cover college-related expenses. Students must qualify through the FAFSA by showing financial need. The average amount of federal work-study funding used in 2023 was $1,821, according to the “How America Pays for College” report.
When it comes to state aid, “by and large, the student would have to be a resident of the state and stay within the state to attend higher ed to be able to receive grants,” says Marty Somero, director of the office of financial aid at the University of Northern Colorado.
Not all schools award merit aid, but these scholarships based on academic excellence or special talent can be one way to close the gap between the cost of attendance and need-based aid. (For other possible sources of scholarship funds, see Page 126.)
What Should I Know About Financial Aid Deadlines?
It’s important to meet colleges’ aid application deadlines, which can vary considerably. The University of Michigan, for example, has a suggested filing date of December 15, which is early compared with many other schools. The University of Northern Colorado, by contrast, has a deadline of June 1 to be considered for the maximum amount of financial aid. However, their site notes that, “if you miss the June 1 deadline, you should still submit a FAFSA as soon as possible.”
That said, experts recommend that students
complete their financial aid applications by those set deadlines. Missing the deadline by one day “can cost a student $5,000 to $6,000 in free aid,” Somero says.
Beyond institutional deadlines, “some states have early deadlines for state grant eligibility, and some schools may not be able to provide as generous a financial aid offer if the application is late,” says Brad Lindberg, associate vice president of institutional initiatives and enrollment at Grinnell College in Iowa.
How Do Schools Award Financial Aid?
Financial aid officers say that while there are many similarities between how schools award aid, each has its own unique process for arriving at awards. Two equal amounts of aid from different colleges can vary widely in how generous they actually are, for example, because one is more heavily weighted toward grants while the other emphasizes loans. Sometimes this kind of decision is influenced by how much a school wants a certain applicant to enroll.
Rob Durkle, senior director of admissions at Wright State University in Ohio, encourages families to ask about each school’s award methodology. For example, when a school claims to meet a family’s full financial need with aid, will the package include loans? A handful of institutions, including Brown University and Princeton University, package awards with no loans regardless of a family’s household income.
It’s important to compare your aid offers carefully so you fully grasp how much you’ll have to pay out of pocket – or via loans – at each school you’re considering.
How Do I Appeal a Financial Aid Award?
The process of appealing an award is called a professional judgment review, and many students are unaware of this possibility. According to a 2020 College Ave survey conducted by Barnes & Noble College Insights, 29% of students said that, in hindsight, they would have reached out to the financial aid office to ask for more aid.
But, notes Orsolini, simply saying “I need more money” isn’t how to make your case (see Page 122 for tips). Families must offer a legitimate reason for schools to re-examine their situation.
Whether you’re appealing a financial aid award or are at another step in the financial aid process, keep in mind that you don’t need to go it alone. If you have any questions or need help, you can always reach out to a school’s financial aid office. l
Student How to Minimize Loan Debt
If you’re going to borrow, then borrow wisely
THE MAJORITY OF students take out loans to pay for college. Sometimes this type of debt can be a wise investment, but experts say you should exhaust all other funding sources and financial aid before turning to loans. The following tactics can help you keep student loan debt at a manageable level or avoid borrowing altogether:
Enroll at a Community College
Where you choose to attend college can make a big difference. Community college can give students time to work, save up money, earn credits and ultimately transfer to a four-year institution to earn a degree for less.
Tuition and fees at public two-year schools, for instance, cost $3,990 on average for in-state, in-district students, according to the College Board. Comparably, in-state annual tuition and fees at a four-year college is more than double that price –about $11,260. And the cost of attending a private four-year college is even higher, hovering around $41,540 per year.
Consider Attending a No-Loan School
Some colleges offer students who have household incomes under a certain threshold free tuition. Others are no-loan schools, meaning they have a policy of meeting the full financial need of students without relying on student loans. Two such examples are Columbia University in New York and the University of Chicago in Illinois.
Estimate College Costs
Tuition is only the tip of the iceberg – students should also factor in the cost of books, housing, meals and transportation. You can use a net price calculator to estimate what you’ll actually pay after financial aid is applied.
Karen McCarthy, vice president of public policy and federal relations at the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, recommends that students use the U.S. Department of Education’s College Navigator tool, which includes financial aid information like the average amount of aid offered.
Maximize Other Funding Sources
Once you calculate your total costs, you can figure out how to cover your expenses. Grants, scholarships and college savings plans should be used before student loans come into play, experts say. Reminder: To qualify for financial aid, students must first fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
The FAFSA completion rate for the class of 2023 was 53.4%. “Families are usually skipping it because they think they won’t qualify for aid,” says Rick Castellano, a Sallie Mae spokesperson. “The reality is just about every family is going to qualify for something when completing the FAFSA. The last thing you want to do as a family is leave free money on the table.”
Start a Side Hustle or Get a Part-Time Job
To offset costs and minimize borrowing, every cent put toward paying for college helps. Some students and recent graduates have taken to platforms like YouTube and TikTok to earn an income that can help finance college tuition or pay off student loans.
Traditional part-time jobs are also an option for students who are able to balance work with classes. Many fast food restaurants and other companies offer tuition assistance, reimbursing employees for the cost of classes. Depending on the employer, reimbursement may be limited to a certain amount.
Limit Living Expenses
Colleges set tuition and fees, so it should be easier to budget for those costs. Housing, meals and entertainment expenses are another story. The average estimated budget for full-time undergraduate students – including tuition and fees, housing, books, transportation and other personal expenses – ranges from about $19,860 per year at public two-year colleges to $60,420 at private nonprofit schools.
It may be tempting to live in an expensive off-campus apartment or eat out every night, but students hoping to avoid or
minimize student loans should be frugal whenever possible, experts say.
Borrow Only the Amount Needed
Student loans aren’t free money. The more you borrow, the longer it will take to pay off your debt. Before signing on the dotted line, consider declining any excess loans. “The last thing you want to do is leave college and feel like now you’ve got debt that is unmanageable,” Castellano says. Borrowers can use the National Student Loan Data System to stay on top of all their federal loans, including outstanding interest.
Understand the Payments
Students should be clear not only on what the repayment terms are, but on how much they will need to pay back. The U.S. Department of Education’s repayment calculator gives an estimate of monthly payments for federal loans under various repayment plans.
Repayments on most federal student loans were put on pause in March 2020. But this came to an end after the Supreme Court struck down President Biden’s federal student loan forgiveness plan, which would have canceled up to $20,000 in federal student loan debt for some of the 43 million Americans who borrowed to attend college. The repayment clock resumed in October 2023, with loan balances unchanged.
Know Your Salary Expectations
It’s a smart idea to aim to owe less than your potential starting salary. This will help reduce your financial burden later on, experts say. Consider which majors have the highest starting salaries and use resources like Payscale or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s labor market outcomes interactive tool to learn more about salaries for various fields of work.

FIND THE MONEY
Scholarship Strategies
There’s lots of grant funding out there for those willing to search – and apply
by Farran Powell and Emma Kerr
WHILE UNIVERSITIES provide the bulk of scholarship awards to college students, there is also plenty of money up for grabs each year from states, employers, private sources and other institutions. To win some of that money, consider these tips:
Use a free scholarship search site.
Students can take advantage of scholarship databases such as the U.S. News Scholarship Finder, Chegg or FastWeb.com to explore awards for which they are eligible. The more information a student enters, the better the odds of landing one or more scholarships, experts say. Answer all the optional questions to increase the chances of a match, especially for the lesser-known awards, advises Mark Kantrowitz, a financial aid expert and author of How to Appeal for More College Financial Aid.
Check out what local groups are offering.
Organizations, nonprofits and faith communities in a student’s hometown may offer scholarships to member families or area students. Local awards are typically less competitive than national ones.
Contact colleges about institutional scholarships. It’s important that prospective students not underestimate the power of institutional aid, says James W. Lewis, president and co-founder of the National Society of High School Scholars. “A lot of people don’t realize there are great institutions that have very generous scholarship offerings.” Applying early may improve your odds.
Earn a merit scholarship.
Merit scholarships are linked to academic performance and other accomplishments and are not based on need. Academic scholarships are often awarded by a school or private organization, sometimes
based on GPA or performance on a standardized test such as the ACT or SAT.
Apply for scholarships based on majors.
There are scholarships available for students pursuing a specific major, from education and biology to engineering. Students pursuing a career in STEM – the fields of science, technology, engineering and math – can apply for a range of awards, such as the Generation Google Scholarship. Full-time students who are currently enrolled in a Bachelors program or high school seniors who intend to enroll in a full-time Bachelors program to study computer science, computer engineering or a closely related technical field at an accredited university in the U.S. have the opportunity to win $10,000.
Take advantage of employer awards.
Many companies – from Taco Bell to ExxonMobil – offer scholarships to employees or their children. If a parent works for the federal government, the child may be eligible for the Federal Employee Education & Assistance Fund, a national scholarship competition.
Try for an athletic scholarship.
Not all athletic scholarships are provided directly by NCAA Division I or II schools. High school athletes can also find money to support their studies through private scholarships. One example, the Foot Locker Scholar Athletes program, offers a $20,000 scholarship to 20 student-athletes for their academic abilities and strong leadership skills in sports, school and within their communities.
Tap into your talents and passions. For students who enjoy the spotlight, there are specialized scholarships for acting, dancing and music. Musicians, for example, may send samples of their vocal or instrumental performances to competitions. Similarly, there are scholar-
ships associated with many other types of extracurricular activities.
Students should ask themselves, “Who am I? What am I passionate about? What do I want to study? What do I want to do with my life?” Lewis suggests. “Scholarship providers are looking for highly motivated individuals with a passion for something.”
Write an award-winning essay.
Essay competitions with small prizes are less competitive because most students don’t like applying for these scholarships, Kantrowitz says. “Consider the odds of only 10 applications for a $500 prize.”
Enter a scholarship sweepstakes.
One of the easiest ways to go after a scholarship is through a sweepstakes competition. Simply fill in the requested information, answer a few short questions and the application is complete. But the numbers are not in your favor. Thousands – if not millions – enter these contests, experts say. l
Avoid These 7 Mistakes When Applying for Scholarships
By Sarah Wood
WITH HUNDREDS of college scholarships available online, the search and application process can be overwhelming and mistakes can happen. Avoid these common errors and boost your chances at receiving an award.
1. Starting Research Too Late
Students should “approach it in an organized way where they might spend a couple hours a week building up a scholarship portfolio in the same way they might for the college admissions process,” says Michelle Holdway, associate director for scholarships in the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships at the University of Oregon. “If they build a portfolio of that information and can have that at their fingertips when they find a scholarship they want to apply for, that will simplify things quite a lot.”
Experts agree that the search should start early. “Students who are serious about attending college should look for scholarship opportunities before their senior year,” says Barbara Barrett, vice president of the board of directors at the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, a nonprofit that provides needbased scholarships in the U.S. and Canada. “There are scholarships available to high school juniors, which enable them to make smarter college financial choices.”
2. Missing Deadlines
Deadlines vary per scholarship, but most align with college admissions season – between October and March, experts say. To avoid missing deadlines, students should write due dates on a calendar or in a planner.
But the search doesn’t have to stop once students step onto campus. They can continue to apply for scholarships throughout college.
“There are scholarships available to students, perhaps through their department or their major, after they’re a little further along in their degree,” Holdway says.
3. Filling Out a Scam Application
Students should look out for red flags in a scholarship application, including requests for payment, personal information such as a Social Security number, or guaranteed money.
“Some websites are just data mining,” says Eric Johnson, director of financial aid at Goldey-Beacom College in Delaware. “They are just taking a bunch of your information. You have no chance of winning anything
because there’s no real scholarship, unfortunately. And they use that information either to market toward you or get you further down a scam.”
Students can also reach out to their school’s financial aid office, high school teacher or counselor to help them discern between real and fake scholarships, he adds. National scholarships can be found on websites like Fastweb.com, Appily.com and Unigo.com.
4. Ignoring Scholarship Requirements
While it can be tempting to apply for every scholarship you discover, it’s important to pay attention to the requirements of each application. If a student doesn’t fit within those parameters – such as being a STEM major or violinist – it doesn’t make sense to apply.
5. Bypassing Smaller Scholarships
There’s a tendency to focus on scholarships that provide a bigger payout. But don’t count out smaller local community scholarships, such as through a local church, Rotary Club or other nonprofit. That money adds up.
“If a student only goes for the large scholarships where they’re going to have a large pool and be very competitive, they may miss out on the opportunity to win some of the smaller scholarship awards,” Holdway says.
6. Leaving an Application Incomplete
Some scholarship applications are short while others require more time and attention. But either way, experts advise students to leave no sections blank. Incomplete applications are not considered for award money.
Another mistake is not responding to a request from a scholarship committee, which may be following up to set up an interview or clarify part of the application.
“Sometimes students don’t respond back, and unfortunately, that’s kind of viewed as a withdrawal of your application,” Johnson says.
7. Making Errors on an Application
Many scholarship applications require responses to short answers or essay questions. Grammar mistakes can reflect poorly on a student, so it’s important to proofread before submission, experts say.
“It doesn’t matter how good it sounds the first time in your head, always have a peer – whether it’s a friend or maybe a guidance counselor – just double-check it,” Johnson says. “Sometimes you just miss that incorrect adjective, word space or whatever the issue may be.”

FIND THE MONEY
Get to Know the Program Federal Work-Study
The program gives students a chance to fund college and grad school costs
by Sarah Wood
WHEN IT COMES to paying for college, every single dollar counts—and the federal work-study program can certainly assist students in covering the costs of their education. Established in 1964 to help low-income students “work their way through college,” the program was one of the first forms of federal financial aid for education expenses in the United States.
But unlike other types of student financial aid, the federal work-study program typically accounts for only a small portion of funding sources that families use to cover college expenses. In 2023, for instance, 20% of families relied on work-study to pay for college, and the average aid amount was $1,821, according to Sallie Mae’s “How America Pays for College” study. Read on to learn what students and parents should know about the federal work-study program.
What Is the Federal Work-Study Program?
Federal work-study is a form of need-based financial aid that offers students the opportunity to work a part-time job to help cover their postsecondary educational expenses. The federal government subsidizes a portion of the student’s paycheck –up to 75% – so the employer may only have to pay a fraction (25% or more).
“It’s a great way for schools to hire students at a relatively low cost to the institution,” says Norm Bedford, associate vice president for student financial services at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Who Is Eligible for Work-Study?
Work-study is available to full- and part-time undergraduate, graduate and professional students at participating schools, but not all will qualify. Students must demonstrate their financial need by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or the FAFSA.
The total work-study award amount that students are eligible to receive depends on several factors, such as when they apply, their financial need and a school’s funding level.
How to Apply for Work-Study
One question on the FAFSA asks students if they are interested in participating in the work-study program. To be considered, applicants must answer “yes” and submit the form by the deadline for each institution to which they apply. Priority deadlines can be as early as November.
“There’s only so much financial aid funding available,” explains Bedford. “Federal work-study is not an infinite pool of money. Schools only receive so much from the U.S. Department of Education. In order to maximize the money that you have, there has to be a deadline for this.”
Federal work-study is not guaranteed simply because a student has financial need. Like any other job, students have to apply and go through an in-
terview process. Job listings can usually be found on a college’s student employment website, and it will typically be noted which openings are eligible for work-study.
It’s also important to know that qualifying for the work-study program once does not mean a student can participate each year. Students need to complete the FAFSA every year they want any form of financial aid, since family income often changes and may result in a student no longer qualifying.
Types of Jobs Available
Work-study students typically have jobs on campus, such as in the library, financial aid office or admissions office. However, students can seek offcampus employment at companies that serve the public interest, including nonprofit and government agencies.
“On-campus jobs may be more accommodating with the demands of classes and the academic calendar and may be more convenient without transportation,” says Elizabeth Milam, director of financial aid at Clemson University in South Carolina.
Work-study jobs tend to be flexible, with students working anywhere between five and 20 hours a week. During school breaks, such as the summer, students may be able to work up to 40 hours in some cases. Compensation varies, depending on
the skills required and a student’s level of work experience. But schools must at least meet federal and state minimum wage regulations. Students get paid weekly or biweekly, so work-study money is not immediately available to pay off tuition at the start of the semester, says Shannon Vasconcelos, a college finance consultant at Bright Horizons College Coach, an education consulting company. “You actually have to get the job and work the hours before you see any money,” she says. “So I tend to consider it more for financing some living expenses throughout the semester or buying books.”
Work-study earnings do not count against a student when completing the FAFSA for the following year, but the wages must be reported to the Internal Revenue Service for tax purposes. If a student works two jobs, (one at Target and the other on campus through a work-study position, for example) only the earnings from Target would count toward the total income on the FAFSA, Bedford says.
Benefits of the Work-Study Program
There are several non-monetary benefits to the federal work-study program, including gaining work experience and developing necessary workplace skills. Even if the work-study position is not career-related, it can still help students figure out what they like and dislike in a job. It also allows students to build connections with their peers and adults on campus.
“The convenience of working on campus, the opportunity to work closely with the college’s staff and faculty and the recognition that federal work-study employees are students first – these unique aspects of the work-study program enhance its value in college financing and career planning,” says Milam. “In addition to earning money for college expenses, many students find their vocational calling.” l
Great Schools, Great Prices
WHICH SCHOOLS offer students the best value? The calculation used here takes into account a school’s academic quality based on its 2025 Best Colleges ranking, the 2023-2024 net cost of attendance for a student who received the average level of need-based financial aid and the proportion of aid recipients
who also received a scholarship or grant. The higher the quality of the program and the lower the cost, the better the deal. Only schools in the top half of their U.S. News ranking categories are included because U.S. News considers the most significant values to be among colleges that perform well academically.

Methodology: The rankings were based on four variables: 1. Ratio of quality to price: a school’s overall score in the 2025 Best Colleges rankings divided by the net cost to a student receiving the average need-based scholarship or grant. The higher the ratio of rank to the discounted total cost (2023-2024 tuition, fees, room and board and other expenses including transportation and books less the average need-based scholarship or grant), the better the value. 2. Percentage of undergrads receiving need-based scholarships or grants during the 2023-2024 school year. 3. Proportion of need-based aid recipients receiving a need-based scholarship or grant during the 2023-2024 school year. 4. Average discount: percentage of a school’s total costs for the 2023-2024 school year covered by the average need-based scholarship or grant to undergrads. For public institutions, 2023-2024 out-of-state tuition and percentage of out-of-state students receiving scholarships or grants were used. Only schools in the top half of their U.S. News ranking categories were considered. Ratio of quality to price accounted for 50% of the overall score; percentage of undergrads receiving need-based grants, for 20%; proportion of aid recipients receiving scholarships or grants, for 20%; and average discount, for 10%. The school with the most total weighted points became No. 1 in its Best Values ranking category.

The Payback Picture
THANKS TO rising tuition and limited financial aid, borrowing is basically mandatory for millions of college students. We’ve compiled lists of schools whose students have graduated carrying the heaviest and lightest debt loads. Because of the availability of federal data, comparisons pertain only to federal government loans – a significant majority of student borrowing.
© National Universities
Private loans, state and local government loans and loans to parents weren’t included. The first data column is the percentage of first-time, full-time undergrads who received federal loans during the 2020-2021 academic year. The second column shows the 50th percentile (median) amount of cumulative borrowing across 2020 and 2021 graduates who incurred debt.

How to interpret the statistics on the more than 1,800 American colleges and universities in the following entries – and get the most out of them
THE SNAPSHOTS OF colleges and universities presented here, alphabetized by state, contain a wealth of information on everything from the most popular majors offered to the stats on the freshman class that arrived in the fall of 2023. The statistics were collected in 2024 and are current as of Sept. 23, 2024; they are explained in detail below. A school whose name has been footnoted with a 1 did not return the U.S.
1. TELEPHONE NUMBER
No. for the admissions office.

Financial aid: (203) 254-4000; 39% of undergrads determined to have financial need; average aid package $31,454
2. U.S. NEWS RANKING
The abbreviation indicates which category of institution the school falls into: National Universities (Nat. U.), National Liberal Arts Colleges (Nat. Lib. Arts), Regional Universities (Reg. U.) or Regional Colleges (Reg. Coll.). The regional universities and regional colleges are further divided by region: North (N), South (S), Midwest (Mid. W) and West (W). “Business” refers to business specialty schools, and “Engineering” refers to engineering specialty schools. “Arts” refers to schools devoted to the fine and performing arts.
Next, you’ll find the school’s 2025 rank within its category. Schools falling in the top 90% of their categories are ranked numerically. (Those ranked in the bottom 10% of their category are listed alphabetically in the ranking tables.)
You cannot compare ranks of schools in different categories; U.S. News ranks schools only against their peers. Specialty schools that focus on business, engineering and the arts aren’t ranked. Also unranked are schools with fewer than 100 students, and those that didn’t have a six-year bachelor’s degree graduation rate.
3. WEBSITE
Visit the school’s website to research programs, take a virtual tour or submit an application.
News statistical questionnaire, so limited data appear; a 2 means the school declined to have an official verify the data’s accuracy. If a college did not reply to a particular question, you’ll see N/A, for “not available.” Our online directory allows you to search our database for schools based on major, location and other criteria (www.usnews.com/college-search). To find a school of interest in the rankings tables, consult the index at the back of the book.
4. ADMISSIONS EMAIL
Use this email address to request information or submit an application.
5. TYPE/AFFILIATION
Is the school public, private or for-profit? Affiliated with a religious denomination?
6. FRESHMAN ADMISSIONS
How competitive is the admissions process at this institution? Schools are designated “most selective,” “more selective,” “selective,” “less selective” or “least selective.” The more selective a school, the harder it will probably be to get in. All of the admissions statistics reported are for the class that entered in the fall of 2023. The 25/75 percentiles for the SAT evidence-based reading and writing and math or ACT composite scores show the range in which half the students scored: 25% of students scored at or below the lower end, and 75% scored at or below the upper end. If a school reported the averages and not the 25/75 percentiles, the average score is listed. The test score that is published represents the test that the greatest percentage of entering students took.
7. EARLY DECISION/ EARLY ACTION DEADLINES
Applicants who plan to take the early decision route to fall 2025 enrollment will have to meet the deadline listed for the school. If the school offers an early action option, the application deadline and notification date are also shown.
8.
APPLICATION DEADLINE
The date shown is the regular admission deadline for the academic year starting in the fall of 2025. “Rolling” means the school makes admissions decisions as applications come in until the class is filled.
9.
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT BODY
This gives the breakdown of fulltime vs. part-time students and male and female enrollment, the ethnic makeup of the student body, proportions of in-state and out-of-state students, percentage living on campus and percentage in fraternities and sororities. Figures are for 2023-2024.
10.
MOST POPULAR MAJORS
The five most popular majors appear, along with the percentage majoring in each among 2023 graduates with a bachelor’s degree.
11. EXPENSES
The first figure represents tuition (including required fees); next is total room and board. Figures are for the 2024-2025 academic year; if data are not available, we use figures for the 20232024 academic year. For public schools, we list both in-state and out-of-state tuition.
12. FINANCIAL AID
The percentage of undergrad students determined to have financial need and the amount of the average package (grants, loans and jobs) in 2023-2024. We also provide the phone number for the school’s financial aid office.
