SJV Admissions Process

ARE YOU READY TO APPLY?

It is called an admissions process for a reason - it is a process!

Take your time, ask for help and little by little everything will come together.

We are here to guide you every step of the way!

Let's do this!

Both of us (you the student, we the counselors) each have responsibilities in the application process. There are a lot of moving parts in the application, so the best advice we can give you is to make a list of your colleges and know the deadlines. Once you know the deadlines, subtract two weeks - that is the latest you can let us know to send your supporting documents! That is also the latest you will want to contact CollegeBoard/ACT to request SAT or ACT scores to be sent directly to the college (if you will be submitting test scores). Everything will meet at the college and once all the documents are received, your application will be evaluated. See useful resources below to help complete your applications.

Student responsibilities:

Submit all applications & essays
Send SAT/ACT scores (optional)
Submit Paper Transcript Request Form or Electronic Transcript Request Form to Guidance two weeks before deadline. Use the paper form if requesting in person and paying with cash/credit or use the electronic form if paying by credit card.
For self-reporting schools, complete the college's SRAR (self-reported academic record) in place of a transcript.
Student Athletes: Register with the NCAA Clearinghouse

Counselor Responsibilities:

Submit all supporting documents:

1. Official high school transcripts
2. Teacher & counselor recommendations
3. School profile
4. Secondary school report

By now, most of the teachers have written their recommendation letters. If they have not done so by now, don't worry - by the time you are ready to apply, they will be ready.
