You Need a College List:
Here’s How to Do it Right
Thursday, October 22nd from 5:30-6:30pm ET
If you can’t make it live:
Save your spot anyway and we’ll send you the replay.
Building your college list is the single most important step to winding up with an acceptance letter worth celebrating. Or three.
That’s why 75% of our admissions process goes into getting this right — and why 95% of our students get into a top choice school.
The right list makes any kid competitive.
Yet most people — including guidance counselors — tend to gloss over this step or approach it the entirely wrong way.
But you’ll know better.
In this free masterclass, we’re going to take you inside our process so you understand what really works.
You’ll learn:
✔ Our cure for the “I-don’t-knows” so your kid gets engaged in the research process
✔Why the “Princeton or Bust” strategy fails and how to be both ambitious and realistic
✔What goes into building a college list that makes your kid uniquely competitive
The sooner your kid starts building their list, the better.
The right list will strategically focus their efforts to get into a college they can’t stop smiling about — and neither can you, because it’s a solid foundation for their future.
Hear from a panel of Signet’s Senior Admissions Consulting team to learn what you need to know to guide your kid through this process.

Building a college list isn’t just a task to check off.
It’s the strategy that shapes everything that comes after it. The essays, the visits, the applications — all of it flows from the list.
