Step 17: Make a decision

Congratulations! You're starting to hear back from colleges, and you've been accepted to some schools! Once you receive your college acceptance letters, you will have to choose a college.

If you are having a hard time making a college decision, go back and visit the colleges you are considering. Go on another campus tour, ask the admissions office if you can stay overnight in the dorms, or just spend some time on campus. Re-evaluate your potential major, and make sure the colleges offer it. Compare the financial aid packages you have received from the colleges, and involve your parents in your final college decision. And relax.
