We’ve written before on Noodle about how getting into a top college is actually easier than you might think. Check out my interview with Teen Vogue where I debunk some other common college admissions myths.

My advice?

  1. Don’t fixate on rankings.
  2. Your SAT or ACT scores don't determine your destiny.
  3. Reach, target, and safety schools? That’s outdated advice.
  4. Apply even if you’re worried about paying for college.
  5. Dig deeper -- admissions rates are deceptive.
