Preparing for the next step doesn’t have to be overwhelming
For many teens, choosing a college is one of the first big steps to independence. But the sheer amount of options can be confusing. What do I want to study? In state or out of state? Large school or small school? Do I have high enough test scores? How do I even apply? All of these questions can cause students to put off the decision or become paralyzed by choice. Evolve Tutoring in Boston is here to meet students where they’re at and we have customized plans that meet a variety of needs. Contact us today to get personalized college admissions assistance!

How to choose a college or university
There are many steps in the process of choosing a college or university — which is why our college admissions assistance is a great first step! We’ve helped many students who have been in the same position as you make a plan and work through the steps until they’re walking into their first college classroom.
​
Here are some questions you should start thinking about as you begin to decide what schools to visit and apply to:
-
What size college do I want to go to?
-
What is the student to teacher ratio?
-
How do I learn best?
-
Do I prefer large lectures or small classes?
-
How rigorous are the academics?
-
What kinds of clubs and activities do they offer?
-
Where do I want the school to be?
-
How far away from home do I want to be?
These questions are a great starting point for the college admissions process. We always suggest writing out a pros and cons list to measure schools against each other based on the answers to the questions above. We also encourage open conversation between parents and students about finances or, if they went to college, what their preferences were.
We meet your son or daughter where they are at, not where anyone wishes they were. We support you in finding the college that is the best fit for them.
If they have a high GPA and test scores, awesome. If they have B’s and C’s and didn’t crush the SAT, that’s fine too. If they haven’t taken a standardized test yet, no problem.
