College Requirements ACT SAT Deadlines

shared by Julia Rickner on 19 Nov 13 - No Cached

Julia Rickner on 19 Nov 13

This source was a treasure to find. Flipping from college website to college website in attempt to figure out all their individual requirements was a nightmare. Frustrated, I searched "college requirements" and found this gem of a website! Prep Matters is very simply a list of colleges and their testing and deadline requirements. It is organized in alphabetical order and lists the college or universities SAT scale, optional test and super scoring policies, ACT requirements, subject test requirements, whether or not the college is on Common App, and all early action/decision and regular admission deadlines. I think my favorite part of this website, however, is the ability to 'click' the college you are interested in, and it takes you directly to the college's homepage. The only downfall of this source is it does not have all colleges!

This is an interesting article. It gives advice, but it also highlights the fact that students, especially seniors, should remain calm. Just because you do not get into your dream school does not mean your life will be over. And handling the bulk of work with a calm mind will help you produce better work, and ultimately a better application. How do most of you guys stay calm during the admission process?

College Comparison Research

shared by Julia Rickner on 19 Nov 13 - No Cached

Julia Rickner on 19 Nov 13

Many people have heard about and used the College Board website to help with college prep. However, I thought I would share this one tidbit of a tool that is within College Board called "Compare Colleges." This is a tool that you plug in any three colleges and it will line their information up next to each other. This information includes; name, location, type (private/public), campus life (how many students, rural/suburban/city, size), admissions (selectivity, requirements, score ranges), and cost and aid. This was a great way to see the colleges I was interested in without having to pull the information from their separate websites.

College Research Planning Student Opinion

shared by Julia Rickner on 19 Nov 13 - Cached

Julia Rickner on 19 Nov 13

Again, another great tool for college research. This site is very organized. Though it shares a lot of the same qualities as other college research sources (finding a college, scholarship chances, admission chances, etc.) my favorite part of it is how organized the student reviews are. Through Cappex, you can choose one of your favorite colleges, and see one students review of the school in entirety, then scroll down and see the next students review of the school. It is organized in a way that you can see clearly multiple students opinions about the same area of the college. Cappex is easy to navigate, and another strong source to use for college research.

This part of the College Board website is a place where many tips are included for writing the college essay. There are also student point of views and their personal experiences writing the college essay. This is a really helpful tool because it includes videos, tips, and even personal stories.

This site has a unique layout. It allows you to search for a college and look at it's statistics, look at its average financial aid package, and see application requirements for admission. This site was super helpful to me because I realized I couldn't apply to one of my colleges because I hadn't done all of the application requirements for that specific school.

You can also compare three different colleges at once when searching for colleges, which is pretty nice because you can see how they stack up to each other.
