Admission requirements vary by institution. May use the same criteria as UC/CSU but more Math & Science may be required. Students should check with individual campuses to determine admission requirements, testing requirements & deadlines. Naviance is a great tool for this type of research!!!!
19
BIG issues for Class of 2017 Students typically take admissions tests during Spring semester of Junior year Options: “OLD PSAT” in October & “OLD SAT” Only available through February “NEW SAT” – Begins in March ACT – No changes
21
ACT questions tend to be more straightforward On the SAT questions are multi-step. You may need to spend time figuring out what the question is asking you The SAT is broken up into more sections SAT moves back and forth between content area ACT you tackle each content area in one big chunk The ACT is more of a “big picture” exam Colleges tend to look at score of each section of SAT Colleges tend to look at overall composite score of ACT
22
The SAT has a stronger emphasis on vocabulary The ACT has a Science section, the SAT doesn’t Not specific Science questions, rather interpreting data and reasoning The ACT tests more advanced Math concepts Tests basic Arithmetic, Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry & some a bit of Trigonometry Not necessarily harder though since questions tend to be easier to understand
23
October Take the “OLD” PSAT (to qualify as a National Merit Scholar) (10/14/15) January May If in AP classes, take SAT Subject Tests (5/7/16) February 2 nd session of MHS “New SAT” Prep classes begin (2/24/16) June NEW SAT (6/4/16) Sign up for PTSA Mock “New SAT” Test (1/9/16) 1 st session of MHS “New SAT” Prep classes begin (1/27/16) October/November of Senior Year NEW SAT retest dates if needed (10/1/16) & (11/5/16)
24

25
SAT/ACT Test Scores Check final testing dates for EACH campus. Registration is usually several weeks before test date. Send Test scores directly from College Board &/or ACT to colleges. MHS does NOT send these scores. If student is possible D1 or D2 athlete- also send to NCAA (#9999).
26
If you are interested in participating in Athletics at a Division 1 or 2 college, you must meet NCAA requirements. Students must meet specific course, GPA & SAT/ACT score requirements. Students may need to make up F grades (required) & D grades to improve GPA & meet requirements. Summer program and courses must be NCAA approved. Realize this process is not predictable.
28
If you are interested in participating in Athletics at a NAIA college you must also meet eligibility criteria. NAIA schools are typically smaller, private campuses with a focus on student-athletes.
29
No specific course requirements must be met prior to entrance. Any student may enroll at a community college. Academic Options: Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) to the CSU System Transfer to a 4-year Institution Associate Degree Certificate of Completion Proficiency Award
30
Goal to Transfer from Community College to a University? Consider Honors Program Specific entrance requirements must be met Will prepare you to transfer to competitive universities Make connections with students Receive mentoring from staff

Do I need this class ONLY to meet graduation (CAP & GOWN) requirements? Do I need a grade higher than a D to move on to the next level course? Do I need this class to meet A-G College Admissions Requirements? Do I need this class for NCAA/College Athletic requirements? SUMMER SCHOOL & REMEDIATION OPTIONS WILL DEPEND ON ABOVE
