RESOURCES TO AID YOUR DECISION MAKING PROCESS

It’s not about having the perfect tool that fits every situation so you can always be optimizing to make the absolute best decision. Rather, it’s about having resources that are adaptable, but more importantly, available to you as you and your family are making decisions, big and small.

Here are some free resources from the Big Idea Breakdown team.

NOTICE & KNOW

Fit is not a vibe, it’s a pattern!

The Notice & Know app is a reflection tool to help students understand their reactions during college visits.

Record what you actually noticed on each visit. Compare. Decide from evident, not anxiety.

KNOW & CHOOSE

Go from overwhelm to ownership - one school at a time.

The Know & Choose app is a college decision tool for students who have been admitted to multiple schools and need support in choosing which to attend. Affordability, academics, belonging - stop waffling and start deciding!
