What do colleges consider when evaluating students?
In considering the admissibility of students each institution establishes a set of criteria by which to evaluate students. These criteria include the secondary school grade point average, the nature and type of courses taken, the record of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, performance on the SAT and/or ACT, essay, and interview. It is wise to research the importance each college assigns to these criteria in preparing the individual application for admission.
