What do you need to enroll in college?

Question

I am about done with highschool and I'm tryin to figure out what my grades and anything needs to be so I wont have any nasty surprises when i start trying to get into colleges. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Check in with your school counselor, that's what they're there for. If you have any idea of what you'd like to study/major in, let them know that too. The counselor will give you advice on several colleges which seem to be a good fit for what you want out of a college as well as your odds of getting in based on your grades and SAT scores. They can also advise you on any strengths or deficits in your transcript as you apply. (For example some schools require that you had taken a foreign language or more math) They also have many application packets available to them. Good luck!

Answer 2

While I cannot cite a generalized source, as a student fresh out of high school, there is only one real requirement to getting into the college of your choice: a high GPA.

That breaks into the second requirement, which is money. Don't let that scare you though. Scholarship money is usually readily available, and the amount of it that you'll be eligible to receive tends to vary depending on your major and/or your GPA, your ethnicity, and sometimes your family's affiliations.

If you can't or don't receive a scholarship and your family can't support you, college loans are a very sensible investment, and federal financial aid (though usually not much) is generally available to every student. See http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

Even if you don't have a great GPA, many colleges have open enrollment policies. Combine that with a college loan, and you're in school.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Depends on where you want to go. You can generally get into to any State College or University with a B average, you can get into any 2 year college with nothing special at all.

To get into a more prestigious school you may need to take the SAT or ACT test, which requires a fee and you need to place at a certain level on that test for some schools.

Answer 4

I suggest you take an unofficial copy of your high school transcript to a local community college (you will pay less tuition and all the college level credits will transfer) and make an appointment to see an academic advisor. Their services are free and they will help you with your schedule of classes.

Best wishes.
