Top 5 Factors In College Admissions
1. Scores on standardized tests (ACT/SAT)--Practice! These tests should not be taken lightly.
2. Grade Point Average (GPA)--Grades in all classes. Schools want to see that you are successful in all your classes, not just your core subject classes. They look for well rounded students who strive for success in all coursework. If you are taking Dual Credit classes remember that the grade received is also reflected on your college transcript!
3. Class Rank--Class rank will change during your senior year. Don't fluff off and take anything lightly. Stay on task!
4. The College Application Essay--Some schools require an essay as part of the admissions procedure. Make sure your senior English teacher reviews your essay!
5. Extracurricular Involvement--Are you leader? Are you leading by example? Character in the classroom and outside of the classroom is important for life after high school.
