Admission Decision is made based upon freshman, sophomore, and junior years of high school.

Honors courses=Stronger Test ScoresOften times, test score is what gets you

considered for scholarshipsSome colleges will re-calculate your GPA

based only on your grades in high school English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Foreign Language courses. (Purdue/UE)

Points to Ponder….

USI will no longer accept students on a conditional basis

VU requires one year of high school chemistry for all Health Occupations majors

Nursing wants more men; Engineering wants more women. (Purdue)

Colleges admit off performance NOT potential.
