WHAT DO COLLEGES LOOK FOR WHENSELECTING STUDENTS?Colleges look at the “total student” when making admissions decisions, but they also havesome minimum criteria they expect candidates to possess. Listed below are some areas thatare considered. Check the college catalogue to find out what the specific colleges you arelooking at expect of you.High school grades/courses/class rankSchools look not only at your grade point average (GPA) but also at the type of courses youhave taken. Many schools have minimum requirements for entrance, such as math throughAlgebra 2 and foreign language. Some schools only count major subjects when calculatinga GPA. Some schools also look at your class rank (how your GPA places you in comparison toother students in our class). Are you in the top 5%, 10%, 25%?Standardized test scoresMany schools require that you take one of the college admissions tests and use your scoresas a predictor of how you will do in their college setting. Check the college handbooks,catalogues or with your counselor to find out what the average SAT’s or ACT’s are for theschools in which you are interested. There is a school for everyone, no matter what the testscore, but you should not apply to some schools if your scores are way “out of the ball park.”Prince George’s Community College will accept any high school graduate and does notrely on these admissions tests. If you do not score well, perhaps you want to start at a localtwo-year community college and then transfer to a four-year college (which will then notlook at test scores but only at your grades in college level courses)The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)What is the SAT and how is it structured?The SAT is a standardized, multiple-choice test used by most U.S. colleges and universities foradmissions and placement decisions. SAT scores can also be used to determine scholarshipeligibility. The test is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and givennationally seven times a year.The SAT is a seven-section, three-hour exam. Three of the sections are Verbal, three areMath, and one is experimental. The experimental section, used by ETS strictly for its ownresearch, can be either Verbal or Math and is not counted toward your final score. Theseven sections appear in a slightly different order every time the SAT is administered.31
