High School Registration!!! What every freshman needs to know…

The Story of Philip From the time he was 10 years old, Philip wanted to go to college at the same school his mom and dad attended. They told him it was ‘very selective,’ but he was wasn’t sure what that meant. Still, the goal was in his head, and he knew he needed to work toward it. When he was in sixth grade, he decided to write to the college and ask for information about admission requirements. He found out that to be considered for admission, he needed to get all A’s and B’s in high school and get a high score on the ACT. Philip started planning backwards. In order to get A’s and B’s in high school, he needed to have a good academic background in middle school. He learned he needed to study, and he began reading and increasing his vocab for the ACT. Philip had six years to plan backwards for his goal. He had to work hard every grading period and even went to summer school for additional help in math. Most of his friends didn’t have a game plan for their lives, but Philip did.

Story of Philip Continued When Philip began his senior year of high school, he was ready with his college application. He had the qualifications and thought he would achieve his goal of getting into the college of his choice. His friends were surprised to learn how difficult it was to get into a ‘good’ school. They had goals, but they hadn’t planned backwards. The college Philip chose accepted him. His friends said, “Oh, Philip’s a brain, and he’s just lucky.” Philip felt they were wrong. He believed he had accomplished his goal through planning backwards and then doing a lot of hard work.

What are your future plans… and how do you get there?

What do colleges look for? 1. High school course work 2. Your grade point average 3. Your ACT or SAT score 4. Extracurricular activities and/or volunteering

Important Information about Grading: To figure your G.P.A., the grades you earn for the semester are assigned point value. Those points are then added up and averaged. REMINDER – there is no starting over! Grades and GPA’s are based on semesters. Your G.P.A. is cumulative – that means as you move on in high school, all your new grades are averaged in with the ones you have already earned Freshman grades are important!!!!!

Study Hall or Class which way do I go? Take a Study Hall? Take a 7th Class? I struggle to complete homework at home Jobs/Activities after school fill my time I need to access teachers/tutors for help I currently have D’s/F’s Interested in selective colleges Want to be academically competitive Want to take multiple electives

What is this person’s GPA first semester? Grades: English 1– A Algebra – B Health – C Regional World Studies – B French II – B Biology – C Study hall GPA = 3.83/5.0 Weighted Grade System [AP] Advanced Placement Level A=6; B=5; C=4; D=3; F=0 [H] Honors Level A=6; B=5; C=4; D=3; F=0 Standard Level A=5; B=4; C=3; D=2; F=0 [B] Base Level A=4; B=3; C=2; D=1; F=0 Note – any course that does not have a AP, H, or B next to the course is considered to be a standard level course
