Looking Ahead

Mountain View is committed to preparing all students for further study after graduation. College admissions requirements vary greatly, particularly among private and out-of-state colleges and universities, so work closely with your counselor to plan your high school courses to meet the requirements of the school you would like to attend.

MVHS College & Careers is a valuable resource as you make your post-high school plans. Watch for college visits, scholarship and financial aid information, and other opportunities to prepare for life after high school.

Oregon's Community Colleges

To enroll in an Oregon community college, you must have a high school diploma or General Educational Development (GED).

Oregon's Public Universities

If you are planning to enter a four-year Oregon public university, you will need to meet the state’s admission requirements. All Oregon public universities require high school graduation, SAT and/or ACT scores, and a transcript that demonstrates you have met certain subject requirements. Each of Oregon’s seven public universities also requires a certain minimum high school GPA for freshman admissions. Get specifics at Oregon Goes to College.

Private and Out-of-state Universities

If you are planning to enter a four-year private university or an out-of-state public university, you will need to meet that specific college’s admission requirements. Meet with your counselor or MVHS College & Careers as early as possible to start exploring next steps and make sure your high school coursework and GPA will meet the requirements of the college or university you hope to attend.

Missing Admissions Requirements?

If your transcript indicates you are not on track to earn enough credits to satisfy your chosen college’s admissions requirements, or if you have remaining testing requirements to meet, don’t wait! Make an appointment to meet with your counselor right away to come up with a plan of action.

Trade School

Perhaps you’ve decided to learn about a trade after high school. There are several trade schools in Oregon, and Oregon community colleges all offer certificates and two-year degrees in various trades. Stop by MVHS College & Careers to start planning for the education you’ll need to enter your chosen trade.
