Plan BigMost large four-year universities will be
looking at 4 core areas when making acceptance
decisions:
1. Class Rank
2. Grade Point Average (GPA)
3. Standardized Test Scores on the SAT or ACT
4. Rigor of high school course work
32
Think SmallSmaller colleges and
universities have the ability to look mores holistically at students when considering
applicants. Get your child involved in
clubs, sports or other extracurricular activities.
Eventually, have them volunteer or get a part
time job. College Admissions Committees like to see well rounded
students.
