College Application Process
College Admissions Guide: Process and PrepCollege admissions is all about finding a school that fits you. As an applicant, you are looking for an environment where you can thrive academically and personally, and it is the job of an admission officer to identify students who will make great additions to a unique campus community.

College PlanningYour path to college begins your first year in high school as you make yourself college ready. Grades and test scores are important factors in college admission, but admissions officers are also looking for curious and engaged candidates who will round out a diverse first-year class. GradesMost admissions officers report that, along with your GPA, the rigor of your high school curriculum is the most important element of your college application.
Test ScoresSAT and/or ACT scores take the lead, but admissions officers consider your performance on other standardized tests as well.
