8 and ARE VERY IMPORTANT
9 How Colleges Evaluate Candidates *Course selection (difficulty; extended languages, math, & science; honors & AP courses) *Grades/Grade Point Average (GPA) *Rank in Class *SAT scores: --Take the SAT I in January of your junior year and depending on your score, take it again. --Check schools for SAT II Subject Test and ACT requirements --Review for the SAT or take a SAT preparation course. Scores will improve with practice. Free resources: NAVIANCE--SAT Test Prep, The College Board

12 More Competitive Colleges *What makes student stand out *Is the student well-r0unded *Leadership qualities *Character: #1 non-academic quality *Did student take advantage of what their high school had to offer --AP courses, honors courses, leadership opportunities, etc. Colleges look for students who want to challenge themselves. *What can student bring to college: athletics, music, art, talents *Remember that the college is selecting a Class rather than Just an Individual
13 Admissions Ratings *Most competitive schools Top 10% of graduating class GPA of 3.75 or higher (un-weighted) SAT I Scores: on each of the three sub-tests Due to volume of applications, fewer than 33% are accepted Examples: Princeton, Georgetown, the Ivy Leagues

17 Admissions Ratings *Non-competitive schools Looks at the overall student profile and accepts most applicants
18 Exploring Careers & Majors *While some students know exactly what they will choose as a major, most do not. *Those who are not sure about their plans, should research possible majors/careers. Your child will complete the Personality Inventory and Career Interest Inventory on NAVIANCE at school. *Read about careers and majors at mymajors.com, collegeboard.com, and princetonreview.com *Relax many students apply undeclared and most students change their major at least once in their four years of college.
19 The College Visit *Call for an appointment at least two weeks before visit. *What to wear: --Look neat and clean --Slacks, button-down shirt NO JEANS --Slacks, skirt, classic top NO JEANS --NO HATS --It is OK to show your own style *Introduce yourself with a hand shake and make eye contact. *Visit a real dorm room. Have lunch in the cafeteria. Sit with students. Stop students and ask, what do you think, Ask directions. *Visit the library, classrooms, and student center. *Keep a journal. Write down your experiences both pros and cons as soon as possible after your visit. *Ask about overnight visits.
20 What to ask the student tour guides *What do you like/not like about the college? *How large are the classes? *Do professors or teacher assistants teach introductory courses? *How accessible are the professors? *Are the dorms overcrowded? *What do students do off-campus? *What is it like on the weekend? *Are freshman allowed to have cars?
21 Questions for the Interview *What percentage of students graduate in four years? *What percentage of freshman return as sophomores? *What are the most popular majors? *When do you have to declare a major? *What employment opportunities are available on campus? *What support services are available?
22 How many colleges should you apply to *Two or three reach schools Just meet or fall below the SAT and GPA averages *Two or three target schools Just meet or are slightly above the SAT and GPA averages *Two or three likelies Are well above the SAT and GPA averages
23 Preparing to Apply *Prepare for and take standardized tests *Extra-curricular: Create a resume of accomplishments *Complete Senior Questionnaire on NAVIANCE *Complete Parent Questionnaire on NAVIANCE *Complete the Transcript Request form on NAVIANCE *Look at the application essay questions and begin to brainstorm ideas *Make sure you have an appropriate address Example: ksmith@yahoo.com
24 PSAT Measures verbal and mathematical reasoning abilities as they relate to success in college and is the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. *Students who take the PSAT generally perform better on the SAT. *Students in the class of 2010 who took the PSAT before taking the SAT had a higher combined score of 146 points on average than students who did not take the PSAT. *Take the PSAT in October of your freshman/sophomore year as practice for the SAT. *In October of your junior year, take the PSAT to be eligible for scholarships from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. *On average, the NM scholarships are worth $2,500 and are considered to be an important and prestigious award.
25 What to do with your PSAT scores *Your scores give insight into potential SAT scores and provide a roadmap of where you need to go as you look toward the SAT s. *Scores fall within the range of 20 to 80 for each section, with 20 being the lowest possible score and 80 being the highest. *A score of 49 in any of the subject areas is about average. *Add a zero to the end of each of your scores to get an estimate of how your scores would convert into SAT scores. For example, a score of 61 in Critical Reading would translate to a SAT score of 610.
26 What is the SAT I Test Measures verbal and mathematical reasoning abilities as they relate to success in college. *Score Range: Reading/Math/Writing *The 2011 Average Scores (1,647,123 students tested) Reading: 497 Mathematics: 514 Writing: 489 *Average scores only get consideration at community colleges and average schools.

27 Score Choice AVAILABILITY *Score Choice is available to all students when registering via the web. *Scores from an entire SAT test (reading, math, and writing sections) can be sent; individual sections from different sittings cannot be sent independently. NO ADDITIONAL COST *Students can send any or all scores to a college on a single report it does not cost more to send one, multiple, or all test scores *Students receive four free score reports with their test registration fee that need to be sent within nine days of your test date. MORE INFORMATION *All scores will continue to be sent to students and designated high schools. *Score Choice is an optional feature.
