1 COLLEGE NIGHT FOR JUNIORS Presented by the STEM Counseling Department February 25, 2014
2 TOPICS FOR TONIGHT Establishing a general college planning timeline Understanding college testing Exploring colleges evaluating size, selectivity, setting, and fit Understanding the basics of the college admissions process The Use of Naviance in the College Process
3 ESTABLISHING A COLLEGE PLANNING TIMELINE
4 THINGS TO CONSIDER ALONG THE WAY Identify potential career/college interests both Naviance and Collegeboard can help! Remain (or get) involved with school and community based activities remember to record them (Resume) Consider the best way to use your summer (volunteer opportunities, internship programs, summer enrichment programs, work). For summer program opportunities, check out the STEM counseling website. Begin exploring colleges (on paper or in person) and investigating potential college majors Review your internet profile Tidbits from eguidancecounselor.com and getreadyforcollege.com
5 JUNIOR YEAR CHECKLIST Winter 2014 Review results of PSAT and utilize online planning tools (Naviance and Collegeboard) Start to create a list of colleges that attract you (15-20 schools) Start to notice similarities: type of campus, size of campus, location, cost, culture, programs offered. Remember to add these to Colleges I m Thinking About in Naviance! Register for the SAT/SAT Subject Test or ACT Have Junior Meeting with your Counselor Spring 2014 Take the SAT/Subject Test or ACT Request information from colleges/universities Learn about Admission Requirements from your identified list Student Athletes: Register with the NCAA Clearinghouse
6 SENIOR YEAR CHECKLIST Summer 2014 Narrow down your list of schools and visit as many as possible or check them out in person or online through a virtual tour. Start to have conversations with your family about financial aid how will you be financing your college education? Begin a search for financial aid sources. Fill out the Senior Questionnaire to help those you ask to write to a recommendation letter. Fill out your Resume on Naviance to give the writers of your recommendation letters a detailed overview (who, what, where, when) of your extracurricular activities. Identify and ask the people you want to write you a letter of recommendation (min. 2 people). You can start to do this before the end of junior year too! Research what the college essay requirements are for the schools you are considering. See some examples of great college essays here.
7 SENIOR YEAR CHECKLIST Fall 2014 Start to whittle down your list of schools by doing further research, taking campus tours, talking to students, etc. Check out College Prowler for student input on colleges. Focus on applying to between 6-8 schools (approx. 3 reach schools, 3 match schools, and 2 likely schools). Complete the Common Application. See the complete list of Common App schools here. Complete any other electronic submission (non-ca) college applications. Add the schools you will be applying to on the Colleges I m Applying list on Naviance. This will ensure that your counselor and teachers can submit documents via Naviance to your prospective schools

13 NMSC The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) is an independent not-for-profit organization offering scholarship assistance. The NMSC uses a Selection Index based on PSAT/NMSQT scores as an initial screen of over 1.5 million students who enter its scholarship programs. Each state has its own cut-off score If your Selection Index places you among the 55,000 high scorers who qualify for program recognition (semifinalists), you will be notified next September (2014). For more detailed information visit:
14
15 SAT vs. ACT Scholastic Aptitude Test tests the subject matter learned by students in high school and how well they apply that knowledge along with critical thinking skills necessary to success in college. American College Testing assesses high school students' general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work. ACT scores are accepted at every four year college and university in the United States.
16 HOW TO CHOOSE Try online practice tests Consider your strengths and weaknesses ACT is shorter and more knowledge based ACT does not take points off for guessing SAT is reasoning based like a puzzle SAT allows more time per question
17 TEST SECTIONS ACT 4 Sections SAT 3 Sections Reading Grammar Punctuation Reading Passages Reading Sentence Completion Reading Passages Vocabulary Writing 1 Essay (100% of score) Math Pre-Algebra Algebra Geometry Trigonometry Science Interpreting Graphs tables research scientific viewpoints Writing Multiple Choice (70% of score) Grammar Writing Organization Essay (30% of score) Math Algebra Geometry Algebra II Statistics

23 HELPFUL RESOURCES SAT - ACT - Practice Tests and Information Test Requirements for Selective Colleges Colleges without Test Requirements-
24 EXPLORING COLLEGES Evaluating size, selectivity, setting, and fit
25 EXPLORING OPTIONS: WHAT COLLEGES ARE RIGHT FOR YOU? What students should consider: Size and diversity of student body Location Academic Programs Campus life: athletics, activities, housing Student Services: Accommodations Financial Aid and Scholarship opportunities Freshman Year Retention Rate If at all possible visit each campus, take a tour, sit in on a class, talk to students and faculty.
26 VISITING CAMPUS During vacations, plan to visit colleges/universities in the area. Instead of just walking around on campus, register your visit through the Admissions Office (see the school s website) Attend an information session and take a guided tour with a student admissions representative Ask questions about the programs offered and student life (i.e. Tell me about the physics department? And What are the most popular activities on campus?
27
28 Match/Target Schools A match school is a college Diversify that you Your are pretty College likely to get Options! into because your test scores, class rank and / or high school grades fall right into the middle range when you look at the school's profile. Note that even stellar students should consider the top U.S. colleges and top universities to be reach schools, not match schools. The admissions standards for these schools are so high that nearly perfect SAT scores and a straight 'A' transcript are no guarantee of acceptance. Reach Schools A reach school is a college that you have a chance of getting into, but your test scores, class rank and / or high school grades are a bit on the low side when you look at the school's profile. The top U.S. colleges and top universities should always be considered reach schools, for the admissions standards are so high that not even perfect SAT scores guarantee acceptance. Likely Schools A likely school is a college that you will almost certainly get into because your test scores, class rank and / or high school grades are well above average when you look at the school's profile. Even if you're a valedictorian with perfect SAT scores, you should never consider the top U.S. colleges and top universities to be safety schools. The admissions standards at these schools are so high that no one is guaranteed acceptance.
