Points to Ponder….
• Admission Decision is made based upon
freshman, sophomore, and junior years of high
school.
• Senior year is last preparatory year before college
level work (rigor of senior year schedule)
• Colleges want students to take some type of
math senior year
31
Points to Ponder (cont.)….
• Honors courses=Stronger Test Scores
Often times, test score is what gets you considered for
scholarships
• 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)
32
Points to Ponder (cont.)….
• VU requires one year of high school chemistry
for all Health Occupations majors
• Recommend students create resume and
update throughout high school; include extracurricular activities, honors, awards,
leadership positions held, employment,
volunteer activities, community involvement
33
Points to Ponder (cont.)….
• Summer before Senior year is a great time to
explore colleges
• Community Involvement
34
