  9. 4 YEAR COLLEGE ADMISSIONS STANDARDS • GPA – Typically average in academic core on a 4.0 scale (English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and World Language) • Course Selection (rigor; difficulty level) – Selective colleges are looking at the strength or rigor of your courses throughout high school, including your senior year. We highly recommend seniors take a minimum of 4 academics each semester- for highly selective colleges, a minimum of 5 each semester. • Test Scores (SAT and/or ACT) • Class Rank – Based on overall numeric weighted average • Extracurricular Activities – Leadership and participation in clubs, service and sports can be particularly important to competitive colleges • College Application Essays – Required essays on the college application are important because they demonstrate your writing ability and give the college more information about you. Please seek advice when writing an essay and make sure to proofread for errors • Letters of Recommendation – Request teacher recommendation two weeks before needed and counselor recommendation at least two weeks prior to the school’s deadline • Resumes – Contains academic info., honors & awards, extracurricular activities, work/volunteer experience, etc.
