Applying to Colleges
Research College Entrance and Applications
It is important that you understand the entry requirements for all of the universities or colleges that you are interested in applying to as they can vary from state to state. You also should begin looking at the applications to ensure you are aware of what you need to accomplish early in your senior year. Each college within a university may have its own additional GPA or test score requirements. Meet with your counselor or career center team to discuss what you plan to major in so they can help you stay on track.
