TESTING PSAT- 10 th grade Given to ALL North High Students for free SAT/ACT Taken in Junior Year at various area HS for more info on SAT for more info on ACT ACT is more curriculum based and has a science component; no penalty for guessing SAT is more of a standardized test and does take off points for wrong answers/bad guessing

TYPES OF COLLEGES Community College Ex. El Camino Harbor Santa Monica Pros: Inexpensive Local Flexible Cons: Heavily impacted Student must be very motivated Public Ex. UC System Cal State System Pros: Affordable Diverse majors Lots of locations and types of campuses Cons: Reduced budgets Impaction Higher student/faculty ratio Private Ex. USC Stanford Loyola Marymount Pros: Low student/faculty ratios Lots of student support Large endowments for scholarships Cons: COST- without scholarships or financial aid- EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE

Financial Aid Never too early to start planning Start educating yourselves now on types of financial aid Even a few dollars a week in a 529 account will add up great resource for education on financial aid

Any Questions??? Thanks for listening!
