  7. Open Enrollment Admissions • As you can see, no matter what your grades or test scores, there are many colleges out there with “open enrollment” policies that are willing to accept you. • However, if your skills and test scores are not deemed “college ready” in various subjects, then you will end up paying college tuition, but not really taking college-level courses and you will NOT receive college credit or financial aid for any of these “remedial courses.” • College ready scores: • ACT = 19 Math, 18 English, 17 Reading • Accuplacer= 85 Elem. Algebra, 95 Sentence Skills, 80 Reading • Do everything you can now, while still in HS, to increase your math, reading, and English skills to prepare for college and work.

  8. Selective College Admissions • Brainstorm: What factors are considered in the admissions process at a selective or moderately selective school? • Grades, challenging course selection, test scores (ACT,SAT), extra-curricular activities and leadership, letters of recommendation, essay • Divide up into groups or “admissions teams” • Distribute Applicant Summary & Review Sheets • Distribute CCHE Index Chart • Directions: Read through each student’s summary and complete the Applicant Review Sheet.

Instruct them to guess the “sticker price” of tuition and fees for the 3 college types. Provide handout for students to record and reveal their answers. • The class may try to help by shouting out what they think is the right answer. • For fun, you will also reveal (and may have students guess) the price of books & supplies and room & board for each institution type. • Reveal the Cost of Attendance and what it means • Discuss how all these costs are included in the cost of attendance and financial aid awards and the ways around them, such as living at home, being an RA, or buying used books online.
