Senior How-To Guides

Send your SAT scores: You can send your scores for FREE to four colleges each time you register for the SAT. If you are sending AFTER you took the SAT, you will have to login to your Collegeboard account and send it directly to the college. There is a fee to send scores after the test, so we recommend sending them while registering for the SAT.

Apply to College and Request Transcripts: All students will be using Naviance for the college application process. Please refer back to the video shown in Advisory for steps on how to complete this process. If you still have questions, please reach out to your counselor.

College Essays: The college essay is a way for you to demonstrate your writing ability as well as an opportunity for you to “tell a story” about you. Make sure you stay on topic. Here are some tips from NACAC and the College Essay Guy.
