[nabs-l] where to start

[Miso Kwak]

The easiest place to start could be your own high school.
Make an appointment with your guidance counselor and talk to him/her 
about your interest and factors that you are looking for in a college.
Or you can start by Googling.
For instance, best undergraduate programs in English
When you find some programs, go on to respective colleges' website and 
explore.
Some college resource portals are
College Board
www.collegeboard.org
College Prowler
www.collegeprowler.com
and College Confidential
www.collegeconfidential.com

P.S: if you haven't done so already, you should start looking into SAT 
and/or the ACT. Are you signed up to take the upcoming PSAT?

Precious:
That's a very tough question if we don't know what major you're
thinking of going into.
You are one step ahead of where I was at that time, at least you know
the places you don't want to go.
My best advice is try to get yourself to 1 2 or 3 majors you want to go 
into.
If you already have those majors, go ahead and share them with us so
we can help you better.
As far as searching for colleges, search anything based on those 3 
majors.
Also, look at colleges not only for tuition and so on, but look at
what their known for.
For instance, since I was in New York at the time, I learned that:
-Hunter College is known for medical and education-related studies,
-Columbia is well known for education,
etc.
And that way you narrow down which colleges you want to go to since
you want to go to a college that is well known for your major because
that's where they'll be the most equipped to help you.

Hope that helps.

Yours in Christ,

God blesses those people
    who depend only on him.
They belong to the kingdom
    of heaven! (Mathew 5:3, CEV)

You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is focused on You,
Because he trusts in You. (Isaiah 26:3 NKJV)
