SELF-ASSESSMENTS
One of the most overlooked steps in making a successful choice about college is self-reflection. Being able to identify and articulate what you are good at, what is important to you, and why will be of enormous value in choosing where and what to study, and being a compelling applicant. Oyster Advisers specialize in discussing and defining these things along with you. In the meantime, the websites and tools listed here can help you begin probing, reflecting, and putting words to what kind of person you are, and where you want to go.
