Admission Decision is made based upon freshman, sophomore, and junior years of high school.
Honors courses=Stronger Test ScoresOften times, test score is what gets you
considered for scholarshipsSome colleges will re-calculate your GPA
based only on your grades in high school English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Foreign Language courses. (Purdue/UE)
Points to Ponder….

USI will no longer accept students on a conditional basis
VU requires one year of high school chemistry for all Health Occupations majors
Nursing wants more men; Engineering wants more women. (Purdue)
Colleges admit off performance NOT potential.
