How the Scoring Works

Make a chart with all the colleges and criteria. Then you will rank them in each category and at up the points in order to see which school has the most. Some categories will have their own special answers. Which will be elaborated more in their descriptions. Others will have 1-5 stars. 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. You will also have a pro and con list on this page that you can use. Feel free to personalize and change the criteria for your needs.
