College and career choices


Here are some sites we recommend to help high school students think through issues and make decisions toward meaningful career and college choices. 

 

  • The College Board - planning tools including: plan for college, find a college, apply to college, pay for college. You can do side-by-side comparisons of colleges. Get information on AP, SAT, PSAT tests from the source. Also a section for parents.
  • College.gov – from the Department of Education - the best source of information on financial aid and FAFSA (a lot has changed in recent years). Also offers general information on interest and college choices.
  • What do you like? - exploring careers and finding a match for your interests. From the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 
  • New York Learns - plan your education / plan your career. Lots of good, sound information with New York searches (not just the SUNY system). 
  • Study Guides and Strategies (for all students) - a well maintained site that is kept up to date.
