How Do I Choose a Pre-Med Program?
This is one of the most common questions I hear from students and their families. There is a lot of information and myths about the pre-med path, and it can be challenging to figure out what is important to consider when researching colleges.
Which Colleges Produce the Wealthiest Graduates?
What you want to do after college is an important decision, and chances are, it’ll impact on which college you choose to go to in the first place. In fact, future earning potential is often the reason students choose their degree in the first place, factoring important points like average salaries, forecasted earnings, and promotion opportunities into their schema before taking that all-important step into furthering their education.
Thanks to this data visualization from findcourses.co.uk, we know which 100 universities produce the wealthiest graduates around the world, as featured in the Forbes list of billionaires.
College graduates earn $1 million more in their careers than the average high school graduate. Since college costs (for now) less than $1 million, paying for a college degree seems—on its face—to be worth it. But not all degrees are created equal: each college and major has a different return on investment.
Should I consider an honors college?
In the coming months, as high school seniors make their final college choice, juniors (and some eager sophomores) are just beginning their search for the right college. There are so many different factors and types of schools to consider, and many students will be torn between the affordability of a state institution, and the academic opportunities and benefits of a small, private college. Wouldn’t it be great to have both? Enter honors colleges. Over the past years, attending an honors college has become a growing trend, and it can be a fantastic opportunity for a high-achieving student who may want a larger school (or the economic value of a public institution), but also the individual attention and opportunity of a private college.
