Dr. Antonoff's College Match Survey
Dr. Steven Antonoff is the GOAT of college research and application planning. His book, College Match was one of the first I purchased about twenty years ago and was a tool I used heavily in my early years as a school counselor. These days, I no longer need to rely on these guides in order to help students identify possible match schools, yet I still highly recommend his books and resources if you like to geek out on this stuff like me.
Minimally, I recommend using ideas (or even completing) from this worksheet for family conversations when coming up with your list of "must haves" and "would be nice to have" items before we begin developing your college list.
