October 6, 2010 College & Career Center, Room K4
SAT November Deadline!
The deadline for the November 6 SAT is this Friday, October 8!
Either the SAT Reasoning test or the ACT is required for 4 year colleges.
UC and some private colleges also require SAT subject tests.
We are awaiting more fee waivers.
If they aren’t here by Friday, you may apply on paper with a letter.
See Mrs. Hall if you have questions.
FREE SAT PREP HELP at Ineedapencil.com! Log on to prep for Saturday’s test!
IMPORTANT –
Be sure to SEND YOUR SCORES TO THE COLLEGES DIRECTLY
through the SAT and ACT sites! One score to any UC will go to all, and there is
one code for all of the CSU campuses (3594 – csu mentor).
You have up to one week after you test to do this.
Ask counselors for help if you need it. We can do this in K4 at lunch!
Colleges need scores sent directly from the test companies.
(You do NOT need SAT for Community and Trade/Tech colleges!)
CSU APPLICATIONS ARE NOW BEING ACCEPTED!
Apply on csumentor.edu. Be sure to write down your user name & password!
You can get started on your own, but don’t submit until we’ve checked it!
Ask your counselor for a transcript and an information sheet to get started.
IMPORTANT: On October 18 and 28, the counselors will provide
on-line CSU application help all day in the A2 lab – teacher permission required!
CSU apps are due by Nov. 30, but we want to get them in by October 31!
The UC site is open now, but finish the CSU apps first!
