Once you have narrowed down your criteria, you can begin your search for a school.

You may be gathering information on dozens of schools so it is important that you stay organized. The easiest way to organize your research is to use a filing system. Create a separate file for each school and designate a drawer or cabinet to hold your files. Information will be easily accessible and it will keep you from getting your target schools confused.

All schools will require that you meet deadlines. There will be deadlines for admissions applications, financial aid applications, entrance tests and, possibly, interviews. Get a calendar. Use this calendar for all related college admissions deadlines.
