Perrin-Whitt CISD

College entrance requirements typically include a high school diploma or GED, straong grades in college-prep courses, standardized test scores (like SAT/ACT), letters of recommendation, and a personal essay. Requirements vary significantly by institution, with some colleges having open admissions while others are highly selective, evaluating an applicant's GPA, the rigor of their high school curriculum, extracurricular activities, and essays to determine acceptance. 

Core Requirements:

• High School Diploma or Equivalent: You must have completed your secondary education, either through a high school diploma or a GED. 

• High School Transcript & Grades: Colleges look at your grades, especially in core subjects like math, science, English, and history, to assess your academic ability. 

• Standardized Test Scores: Many colleges require SAT or ACT scores, though some may use them primarily for course placement. 

• Application Essay: You'll write a personal statement to showcase your writing skills and personality. 

Supporting Materials

• Letters of Recommendation: These provide insights into your character and academic potential from teachers or counselors. 

• Extracurricular Activities: Colleges look for your involvement in clubs, sports, volunteer work, and other commitments outside the classroom. 

• Resume: You may be asked to submit a resume summarizing your achievements and experiences.
