  39. Points to Ponder…. • Admission Decision is made based upon freshman, sophomore, and junior years of high school. • Colleges admit off performance NOT potential. • Some colleges will re-calculate your GPA based only on your grades in high school English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Foreign Language courses. (Purdue/UE) • Honors courses=Stronger Test Scores Often times, test score is what gets you considered for scholarships!

  40. Points to Ponder (cont.)… • USI will no longer accept students on a conditional basis • VU requires one year of high school chemistry for all Health Occupations majors • Nursing wants more men; Engineering wants more women. (Purdue)

  41. Points to Ponder (cont.)… • If you are a 21st Century Scholar, some private schools will cover remaining tuition not covered by award. • IU & Purdue provide financial assistance for housing, if you are a 21st Century Scholar & meet eligibility requirements. • Recommend students create resume and update throughout high school; (extra-curricular activities, honors, awards, leadership positions, employment, volunteer activities, community involvement

  42. Parent’s Role • Be involved • Know your student’s grades, attendance, and discipline record • Check Harmony for parents frequently • Know dates progress reports and report cards are issued

  43. Parent’s Role (cont.) • Stay in touch with your child’s teachers • Review and help your child select classes • Explore colleges/careers together (Summer is a great time to explore!) • Talk with your son or daughter about your career and education
