  30. College Information

  31. Getting Started Research colleges that fit your needs (personal and academic.) Make sure minimum admission standards are met by choosing appropriate courses and maintaining a realistically rigorous schedule. Visit colleges Meet with College representatives who visit CHS Stay organized: create a college search file, keep track of username/passwords, create a timeline. Think about possible recommenders and essay responses in advance Use your resources!

  32. Admission StandardsFor 4-year Colleges Tougher College Admission Requirements 32-40 Core Credits (8-10 in senior year) 3.0 GPA or higher (some colleges only include core classes) Upward trends (strongest grades in junior/senior years) Challenging curriculum (REALISTIC RIGOR!) Test scores equal to or higher than state averages More Colleges requiring: Two years of one World Language 4 years of Math including Pre Calc SAT /ACT scores – important factor

  33. College Options 4 year institutions Public Private Community College Ivy Tech Community College Vincennes University Transfer programs

  34. Public Schools Admission criteria continues to change and become more demanding. Top 3 schools attended by CHS students: IU -accepts weighted gpa (middle 50% gpa between a 3.4 and 4.0.) Automatic scholarship deadline 11/1 Purdue -recalculates gpa using unweighted grades in core classes. Average gpa varies by major. Undergraduate Studies Program for exploratory students. Scholarship deadline 11/1. Decisions not released until early December no matter how early you submit an application. Ball State -recalculate gpa using unweighted grades in core classes. Average gpa: 3.0 All three of these schools have articulation agreements with Ivy Tech Community College allowing students to transfer after a semester or more.

  35. Public Schools continued… IUPUI-has become more selective, new honors program, research scholarships, ideal location for experiential learning, more residential opportunities. Indiana State University-may be more flexible in terms of gpa and test scores, smaller and could present a better fit for some students. University of Southern Indiana -smaller campus experience, lots of expansion in terms of academic and residential buildings. Solid nursing, pre- med, health care related programs. Satellite campuses: IU and Purdue offer 4-year degrees at satellite locations across the state that offer direct intercampus transfer opportunities. Examples include: IU Kokomo, IUPU FortWayne, IUPU Columbus, IU East, Purdue Calumet, Purdue Northwest, IU Southeast.

  36. Private Schools A continuum of admission selectivity from relatively flexible to extremely selective. Tend to look at the “whole” student more than just numbers and statistics. i.e. extracurricular involvement, leadership, work/volunteer experience. Tend to be smaller campus experiences with distinct personalities and students must do extensive research to find the right fit. Don’t assume that private schools will be out of reach financially, they tend to have larger endowments with more scholarships and financial aid available.

  37. Testing Take both SAT and ACT this spring Take tests more than once. Many colleges will take highest scores (super scoring). Tougher College Admission Requirements—scores are more of a factor Many schools require that scores be sent directly from the testing agencies. Students should take advantage of the opportunity to send scores (4 for FREE) when they test. There are a multitude of test prep resources out there. Start with the CHS Counseling website or testing agency web sites. CHS Prep course typically offered in spring and fall for SAT
