What People Are Saying

"Abigail will provide any prospective student with valuable insight into life at Barnard. We had an amazing conversation and left with information that will help me with my college admissions path this fall. I truly am grateful."

“Talking with Major Decision student ambassadors allowed our students to explore colleges they wouldn't have otherwise been able to visit, even in non-COVID times, since they were able to connect with students all over the country.”

“Yohanis [my Major Decision Student Advisor] was by far the best person I talked to about college/university. He always went the extra mile to help and give me advice.”

Using Major Decision in Your College Journey

STEP 1

Research

In your sophomore or junior year of high school, you should create a list of colleges you want to consider. Whether it’s 10 or 20, talking with current students can help you narrow your list.

STEP 2

Campus Visit

Campus visits were great before the COVID-19 pandemic, but can be time consuming, expensive, or just plain unavailable. Can you guarantee you will you walk away with answers to all of your questions? Our Student Advisors can give you the inside scoop on all of the information not provided on the official tour.

STEP 3

Application

Application fees can add up, from $50 up to $100 for elite colleges. By speaking with a Student Advisor before you start the application process, you can narrow your list to your top picks and save money on application fees.

STEP 4

Commitment Decision

There are so many factors that go into choosing the perfect college. Speaking with a Student Advisor can boost your confidence that you’re making the right choice.

STEP 5

Preparing for that First Semester

The decisions don’t end once you’ve picked a college. Now you have to decide what to pack, where to live, which courses to take, meal plans and more. Talking with a current student can help you navigate this new phase of your journey.
