Everyone worries about college admissions and everyone has their own thoughts and ideas on how best to do this. Many students believe that the SATS results are the most important. However, the admission factors most often taken into account appear to be your high school record.

This is considered to influence about 35% to 50% of their decision, but also includes what courses you took and how well you did in those courses.

And yes, they do look at whether or not you took difficult courses and how well you handled them, they will check to see if your grades improved during high school, as well as whether or not you let your grades slide a little during your senior year.

Colleges also admit that approximately 25-40% of their admissions decision comes down to test scores. Both the ACT and SAT test are used to sort applicants, demonstrating how well you can handle problem solving, reading and other basic skills.

This is one reason why SAT test preparation is vital if you want to do well and improve your SAT test score. They will check out your activities and other accomplishments. Their decision is influenced anywhere from 5 to 20% on these factors.

Their decision is influenced anywhere from 5 to 20% on these factors. Colleges feel that if you were active in community services or took a leadership position in an activity, then it is likely you will continue to be active at college.

They want to know what you are like as a person, something that SATS tests cannot tell them. They want to know what is important to you, what type of personality you have and to determine your greatest strengths and weaknesses.

However, the bottom line is that to get into any college you need good marks and taking SAT preparation classes, along with practice SATs tests improves your chances of making a much higher grade. College admissions tell us that high GPA’s and good SAT scores will get a lot more attention than average scores. Taking AP (advanced placement) courses shows them that you are serious about your education and that will get you extra attention.
