By the end of junior year, our goal is for our students to have 9-11 colleges on their list.
By the beginning of the senior year, students should have 7-9 colleges on their list.
Schools can be categorized into 3 types for admissions student by student based on GPA, major, acceptance rate, test scores, etc. -- Safe, Target, Reach. Happy exploring.
Our district has a full time scholarship coordinator! Barbara Ross visits our campus every Monday. In addition, she holds parent and student workshops mutliple times throughout the school year.
