This is probably one of the hardest or easiest things you can do while preparing for universities. CBS News provides one way to pick college lists. You can find the whole article here. Here are the subtitles for your quick view pleasure.

STEP 1 — Don’t get bogged down in where you “should” apply.

STEP 2 — Know thyself.

STEP 3 — Identify a place to live.

STEP 4 — Information, please.

STEP 5 — Be realistic while maintaining perspective.

For me all you need to do is the following: Come up a list of 10 schools, 5 dream schools,  3 reach schools, and 2 safety schools and include a short reason why you want to go to those schools.

Dream schools are like the Ivy League and Stanford, those with less than 20% acceptance rates is a good gauge. For reach schools are those where your scores and GPA falls in that people will most likely accept you. Depending on the student about 30%-50% acceptance rate. The safety school are the ones you are absolutely sure they will accept you with your current grades/scores.

Remember each application for international students costs anywhere from $80-$100.
