Application Review What it boils down to… Would this applicant make our community better for being here? Selectivity is a combination of many things, and while GPA & SAT/ ACT scores play a critical role—they are not the only deciding factors. Which student will make our school a better place? Who will make us look good? ©2011 The Princeton Review, INC. All Rights Reserved

Selectivity Using other application factors for those with adequate GPA/ Test scores (not stellar), we decide the remaining 25 students (admit (10), reject (9), waitlist (6)). Not Accepted Not Accepted Waiting List Waiting List ©2011 The Princeton Review, INC. All Rights Reserved

College Entrance Exams Which test should I take? There is no downside to taking both tests, but if you want to know which test is best for you… take a full-length practice test! We offer FREE full-length SAT’s and ACT’s. These are administered and a proctored test setting which will simulate the real thing. It will give you a good idea what test is YOUR test of choice. We also offer the Princeton Review Assessment (Hybrid ACT& SAT) to give you a predicted score for both tests. ©2011 The Princeton Review, INC. All Rights Reserved
