College Search: A Crucial Piece of the Puzzle
I entered my college search certain of nothing beyond my uncertainty about my major, career, and school. Thanks to cws, I was able to better define what I wanted from college and discover my perfect school: Williams College, which I never would have known existed if not for the wisdom and search techniques of Adrienne and Eden.

Maximize your chances - and minimize the risk of getting burned - by making a good match.
How?
A)
Throw darts at pictures of colleges that you have cut out from viewbooks.
B)
Ask your Uncle Tony (who hasn’t been to college in 25 years) or try one of those limited on-line searches.
C)
Apply to a bunch of colleges you’ve heard of and hope that you get into at least one.
D)
Make selections based on a published ranking system that does not consider important issues of compatibility.
E) Work with the college workshop®.
Why is E the right answer? Because:
A)
There is no simple formula. No computer search program or personality profile can adequately determine which of the thousands of schools in the U.S. will best meet your needs.
B)
The college workshop® asks you to answer hundreds of questions about yourself and then spends hours analyzing your responses in order to come up with a list of schools just for you.
C)
Since 1988, we’ve been matching students of all abilities and interests with colleges and universities.
D)
Students who go through our search (which we believe to be the most comprehensive in the world) have a much higher acceptance rate than those who don’t - almost 2 to 1!
E) ALL OF THE ABOVE!
E, of course! So, put a little workshop wizardry to work for you!
