HHS COLLEGE VISITATION Hamilton High School Career Center has over 30 colleges visiting them each fall. Sign up online at Hamiltonhuskies.com – at the Career Center website OR see Mrs. Lytle. Remember! Many times the representative at the college visits is the same person reading your applications! You want to make a good impression on that person. Our in-state colleges will visit monthly. Plan on visiting with them at least once to make sure you have everything done that needs to be done!

Top Factors in State Universities Admissions Student transcript – GPA, grades, strength of schedule, class rank Test Scores – ACT or SAT Personal Statement (if required)

Teacher/Counselor Recommendations Use the college form if a teacher recommendation is required – give forms to teacher so they can have additional information about you to include in their letters. If applying via the Common Application, give the teacher a copy of the recommendation form, a list of the schools (with deadlines) and an envelope addressed to each school. Student should call the school to confirm the letter was received. For Counselor recommendations, see your counselor at least two weeks ahead of time. You need a personal meeting!

WRITING A PERSONAL STATEMENT **A personal statement is your opportunity to address the admissions committee directly. A personal statement should let the committee learn more about you as an individual, in a way that statistics cannot. HERE ARE SOME TIPS: *Use an easy-to-read font *Length = 1 – 2 pages max! *Edit your work! GrAmMeR & speeling (00ps! spelling) are important!

NEED MONEY$$$$??? What constitutes low income? Harvard $45,000 U of A$42,400 ASU$42,500 Also please note: YOU ARE CONSIDERED A FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENT IF NEITHER ONE OF YOUR PARENTS RECEIVED A BACHELOR’S DEGREE

Fee Waivers If you are on the free or reduced lunch program, you are eligible for a fee waiver to apply to our Arizona Universities. You are also eligible to receive 2 fee waivers to take the ACT and SAT. See Mrs. Lytle for details.
