Senior College Application Basics

There are some basic questions that are frequently asked in college applications and yet many times students and parents don't know the answers.  Since I have had quite a few individuals asking me these questions, I figured it would be helpful if I covered a few of those basic answers in case you come across them too when you are completing your applications.

- Your graduation date is May 20, 2018

-  Your class has 307 students

-  WKHS offers 17 AP courses, 12 IB classes, and 13 honors classes

-  If your grade point average is a 4.0 or higher you have a rank of 1.  If your gpa is less than a 4.0 then we do not rank and that is what you should write instead ("Does Not Rank" or "None").  

- To find your GPA and/ or your past classes and grades to submit, you can find that information on Infinite Campus in the Reports section.

- Many colleges will ask you about me.  My name is Brianna Abbott.  My title is School Counselor.  My e-mail is babbott@wscloud.org and my phone number is 614-450-6490.  

-  Our school's CEEB code is 365507.  (Most applications if they ask you this will give you a look-up option, but you can just type it in as well.)

- I am really happy that so many of you are working on your applications because I know I wouldn't hear these questions if that wasn't the case.  Don't forget that if you are in need of a teacher or counselor recommendation letter that you should be asking for a letter at least 30 days in advance!  This means, that if you are trying to hit a November 1st application deadline then you should be asking for a recommendation letter this week if you haven't already taken care of that.  (And, again, remember, if your intended colleges do not require a recommendation letter, do NOT waste your teacher's time by asking them to write a letter that won't end up getting used.)

I hope that helps.  If you come across any other questions don't hesitate to let me know.

Don't forget, I will be gone this Friday and next Monday and Tuesday!  Stop by to see me now through Thursday if you need something.
