One of the most helpful guides that was recommended to us is Ruggs Recommendations. https://www.ruggsrecommendations.com/ It is divided by areas of study and majors. It lists the universities with the strongest programs in that area of study. It further breaks those programs down into the schools by most highly selective, very selective, and selective. It also describes the size of those schools by student population. This guide is very particularly helpful if your child is looking for a specific program and already knows what size school s/he’d like. NcGrandma, this might be helpful for your granddaughter.
