| The Gap Students are often prepared to satisfy high
school graduation requirements only to find that those same requirements
don't meet college admission requirements. How does your transcript
stack up?
Recalculation of Grades It is common knowledge that high schools and colleges "weight" grade
point averages based on the rigor of coursework. Were you aware
that colleges may re-evaluate your grades resulting in a lower than
expected GPA? College Readiness High school curriculum and statewide standards
may not prepare the student for the rigor of college courses.
Are you ready to take on college course work? College Ranking The ranking of colleges is common conversation
during the college planning process. Do you know how college rankings
should be used during the college selection process? Competition High caliber students are competing with
other high caliber students for limited admission spots at highly
competitive colleges. In 2003, Stanford University received 19,000
applications - 12.1% of those applicants were offered admission.
Most applicants were in the top 10% of their class and 2% of the
applicants scored a perfect 1600 on their SATs. Do you know what
type of college will be the best "fit" for your immediate and
long-range goals? Change = $$$$ The percentage of college students who
earn their undergraduate degree in four to five years continues
to decline. Do you know how to select colleges that will increase
your chances of "graduating on time" and save you $$$$?
