College+Admissions

Students can use this free College Board website called "The Big Future". It is a one stop site with everything a student could need to plan for college or career. There is a "College Matchmaker" search engine to begin to narrow down their list of colleges that have the qualities that they are looking for in a future college or university. Students should save their search by registering on the College Board website. Encourage students to go to this site often to build their search and find out about financial aid and scholarships as well. This site also has helpful videos of college admissions counselors giving advice about what to do in high school to build the chance for admission to college.

Once students have an idea of a few colleges they may be interested in they should go to this website to check out their AP Credit and Transfer Policy to see what the different scoring expectations are for receiving college credit for AP courses taken in high school. All they have to do is type in the name of the college and it will link them directly to that college's AP transfer policy.
