(pronounced “score”). This new, modern online system will streamline the process of requesting, processing, sending and tracking the electronic delivery of all application-related documents. More importantly, it’s much more helpful for students and parents during the college search and selection process. On SCOIR, colleges come to life through pictures, videos and links that highlight active student clubs and organizations. This better enables students to identify colleges that are a good fit with their personal and academic interests, which increases college retention. SCOIR also provides parents with useful financial calculators so you can determine the likely cost of attendance at different colleges and consider the affordability when deciding where to apply.

    A Glossary of College Counseling Terms Applying to college is complicated. It even has its own language. Lisa Sohmer Sohmer College Counseling Revised March 2020 ACT: The American College Testing assessment is a curriculum-based test that includes four sections: English, Math, Reading, and Science Reasoning. Each section is scored 1-36 and students receive a single composite score of 1-36, representing the average of the four individual scores. There is an optional writing section of the ACT. The test is administered up to 7 times per year, depending on the test center location. Additional information, including practice questions and registration forms, can be found at www.act.org, www.review.com and www.kaplan.com. Accelerated Degree Programs: Some colleges offer combined programs to allow students to complete an undergraduate and a graduate degree in a reduced period of time. Examples include a combined BS/MD program, such as one offered at Lehigh University and Drexel University College of Medicine where a student would earn a BS and a medical degree (MD) in 7 years rather than the usual 8. These programs are different from Early Assurance programs and Combined Degree programs. Acceptance Rates: Colleges publish this annual statistic to show what percentage of students whose applications are submitted are offered at place at the college. AP courses: Advanced Placement courses are offered in many high schools. The courses are taught using a standardized curriculum and culminate in a standardized exam that is administered each May. Based on their scores on the exam, students may qualify for college credit or advanced standing.

  • 2018 College Process Glossary
    Glossary Of College Counseling Terms ! Lisa Sohmer Sohmer College Counseling 2018 TESTING & GRADES PSAT: The PSAT is offered to students in October of the junior year. Many schools also offer the test to sophomores and freshmen. The test is similar to the SAT, but scores are for preparation and guidance only and should never be reported to colleges. The PSAT models the SAT, but does not include the option of a student-produced essay. When students receive their scores, the original test booklet is returned along with a score report showing their answers and the correct answers. The score report also suggests areas where the student needs to improve and offers study tips. Students can also access on-line assistance at www.collegeboard.com/ quickstart. Students should use these tools in preparing for the SAT. The full name of the PSAT is PSAT/NMSQT, which stands for National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. PSAT scores from the junior year are reported to the Nation Merit Scholarship Corporation for use in determining winners of National Merit recognition and scholarships. Of the nearly 1.5 million students taking the test, those with the top 50,000 scores are selected for further review, including a review of their SAT scores. Students can be named “commended scholars,” “semi-finalists,” “finalists” and “winners.” Information about the program can be found at www.nationalmerit.org. High schools can offer the PSAT to sophomores in either the fall or the spring. In addition, a PSAT 8/9 is offered in some high schools. SAT: The SAT is administered in the United States 7 times per academic year.

Engage in career focused clubs, activities, and enrichment. Do independent research on career and subject interest – this will show passion. CAREER PLANNING IMPORTANT NOTE: The average student changes majors two or three times during college! The importance of career planning is to explore a career path so that you can identify what you like and what you dislike about a particular occupation. It helps prevent students from changing their major midstream causing an additional 1-2 years of college expense. Things To Look For In a Potential Career: Job Descriptions and Responsibilities – What workers do on the job? Working Conditions – Typical hours worked and workplace environment. Employment Opportunities – Key industries employing workers in this career. Education and Training – The minimum educational and training requirements. Advancement Opportunities – How do workers advance to the top of this career? Job Outlook – Number of job openings an occupation provides, degree of competition for jobs, and the susceptibility to layoffs, high turnover, and downsizing. Earnings – Typical earnings of workers in the occupation and types of benefits received - whether workers are compensated by salary, commission, tips, or bonuses.

  • College Admissions Glossary
    COLLEGE ADMISSIONS GLOSSARY ACT: All colleges in the State of Alabama use ACT as part of their admissions criteria. This is also true of all colleges and universities outside the state. Our school code is 010­332. The test measures educational development in English, mathematics, reading, and science reasoning and is given at specified test centers throughout the year. An optional writing component has been added. ACT scores range from 1­36. Accreditation: Recognition of a college or university by any of the regional or national accrediting bodies; indicating that the institution as a whole has been judged to be meeting its objectives. Admissions Terms: ● Regular Decision: Deadlines usually begin December 15th. Students are notified by April 15th and must respond to the college by May 1st. We encourage you to complete your application as soon as possible and not wait until the postmark deadline. ● Rolling Admissions: Applications are read as they are received. Although candidates may receive acceptance within one month, they maintain the right to wait until May 1st to accept the offer of admission. The earlier you apply the better. You may be the most qualified applicant, but they may not have a space for you in April. ● Early Decision I: This is a contractual, binding agreement between the college and the student. The agreement is if accepted, the student will attend. Notification is given usually by December 15th. You may submit only one ED application. If accepted, you must withdraw any other applications. ● Early Decision II : This works the same as EDI, but has a later due date to allow students more time to make an informed decision.
