Teachers cannot write Letters of Recommendation until the survey is complete! Because requests for LORs must be made at least a month before your earliest application deadline, completing the survey before schools starts this fall ensures that this piece of your application will be done on time. Invitations to complete the survey were sent to Juniors on May 20th, so check your inbox for a link!
The Profile section is useful if you want to be able to print a resume to include with your application (requested at some colleges and special programs). Activities and achievements, such as sports teams, clubs, after school programs, awards, jobs, volunteer work, and other accolades, can be listed, along with your personal & academic details that are already included. This information will be used on your college applications, so it's really useful if you have it updated by the time you start filling those out!

You can take the College Match Quiz to find schools that might be a good fit for you, but you can also click the Discover button to filter for academic focus, application method, locations, and more! Viewing Scattergrams (search for colleges, click Admissions > View Application Scattergrams) in Scoir can help you decide if the college is a reach, match, or safety school for you. This is ultimately how you begin building your college list.

Start Applying!
Applying/Applied Columns: Move the colleges you're applying to over to the Applying column in Scoir and research requirements. You need to know what materials you need, i.e. letters of rec, test scores, etc. This information can be found by clicking on the college name from your list. You can also keep track of what steps you've taken and what you have left! Once you're ready for us to send documents, move your schools over to the Applied Column in Scoir. This will alert your counselors to send transcripts & any other required documents. It's Ok if you haven't actually applied, as long as you intend to apply. Be aware that you'll be charged $5 for each college in this column that requires documents. When prompted, be sure to indicate which application type you're using, which deadline, your major (if known), and whether or not you're applying test optional.
Application: Choose which application type you'll use -- Common App, Institutional, or Scoir -- and follow the links below for instructions.
Of course, this is an oversimplification of the Application process, but this is what matters in Scoir. See the Application Section of this website for more detailed information & guides.
Request Required Documents
Request Required Documents
Moving a college to the Applied column generates a notification to your counselor that your documents should be sent, but there are some steps you need to take for letters of rec & test scores!
Transcripts are automatically sent to any schools that are moved to your Applied column in Scoir. Check to see if the school allows you to send an unofficial transcript, in which case you can just download one from Infinite Campus. If they want an SRAR, or self-reported academic record, you'll need to download your transcript from IC (be sure to select the one that has your current work in progress included) and enter your courses/grades using the link they provide after you submit your application.
Teacher Recommendations should be requested both in person and in Scoir by clicking My Colleges > Application Documents. Scoir will automatically assign a deadline for your teacher that correlates to the earliest deadline of all colleges in your Applying/Applied columns, so be sure you've selected the correct deadline for all of your colleges! You'll still want to make sure your teacher knows when you need the letter, especially if it's sooner than the deadline they'll see in Scoir.
Counselor Letters. These must also be requested in person! Scoir & Common App both list application requirements, but check the website of each college you're applying to for verification! Enter your counselor letter request in Scoir just like you do a teacher.
Test Scores. Contact ACT or College Board. We do not send these.
Early Decision Contracts. Sign with your counselor & parents/guardians.
Fee Waivers. Talk to your counselor if you think you qualify.
NOTE: You'll need to enter recommenders in Common App, but don't put their contact info. For counselor, just enter their first & last name! If a teacher is also required, enter their subject, firs/last name, and select "no" when asked if you want them to complete an evaluation.
Tell Us Where You're Going
Tell Us Where You're Going
Once you have made your decision, move the college you're going to up to the Enrolled section in your Applied Column. This is the only way we'll know where to send Final transcripts! You'll complete a Senior Exit Survey in the spring where you'll be asked for more information, so keep track of your scholarship offers and acceptance status.
TLDR:
TLDR:
The colleges you're applying to should be in the Applied Column in Scoir once you've applied (or are sure you're applying soon).
Requests for Teacher * Counselor Letters of Rec must be entered in Scoir (after you've asked in person!). Your earliest college deadline is your teacher's deadline; AHS will send letters.
Don't enter contact info for recommenders in Common App! For counselor, just enter their first & last name. If a teacher is also required, enter their subject, firs/last name, and select "no" when asked if you want them to complete an evaluation.
Counselors will only send required documents to colleges in your Applied column. Moving a college to that column automatically generates a notification. There is a $5 fee per school, which will be added to your IC account under Fees and must be paid before graduation.
