DIRECTIONS ON ENTERING JUNIOR YEAR GRADES ON YOUR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS

Last year, your class schedule presented an unusual situation for entering your Junior year grades on the college applications this year. Please follow this advice we received from a CSU, and UC Rep. to view the instructions.

 

GOING TO COM OR SRJC AFTER GRADUATION?

If you plan to attend college of Marin or Santa Rosa Junior College after high school, it is not too late to apply. See CCC staff to schedule a meeting for help on the application. If you plan to attend COM or SRJC you must also apply for financial aid ASAP!

 

SAT/ACT INFORMATION

SAT/ACT Information

Most colleges, Including the UC's, have decided to become "test-optional" for fall 2021 applicants due to the coronavirus, meaning that they will consider your scores if you have them, but won't penalize you if you do not. Check out the list of test-optional colleges.   The CSUs absolutely will not consider any SAT or ACT scores. 

Compass Learning Group publishes an excellent, comprehensive guide to SAT and ACT testing. Compass Guide to admission testing

However, if you are applying to any elite colleges or highly competitive majors within a college, test scores might help your chances of admission. Call or email the admissions offices at those colleges to inquire about whether they prefer for you to submit scores. If so, you may want to register for and take the SAT or ACT this fall. They are offered every month, though you may have to go to a test site farther away from Marin. 

If you decide to take the test, be sure to spend several weeks preparing for it. Khan Academy and act.org have fantastic, FREE, independent study online courses. Go to: Khan Academy and Free ACT prep. Or prep with a good study guidebook, such as the most recent The Official SAT Study Guide or The Real ACT Prep Guide.
