Description
Developing a college admissions strategy for high school seniors: (1) Students considering applying to an HBCU are provided with a copy of HBCU Scholarships…and More* to expand the student’s understanding of the unique HBCU-specific scholarship pathways. (2) We review the student’s high school transcript; résumé; PSAT, SAT, and/or ACT score reports; high school profile; prospective college list; desired college major; and family’s financial need. (3) We then provide a comprehensive assessment of the student’s profile across the 3 pillars of scholarship, leadership, and service as reflected on the student’s résumé. This review is performed within the context of the holistic reviews conducted by college admissions and scholarship reviewers. (4) We discuss strategies to be pursued and actions to be taken (within the context of the student’s current year of high school) to maximize the student’s college and scholarship opportunities. During this stage, as a part of an open and candid discussion, we may recommend colleges, programs, and scholarships to which we perceive the student to be a good match. (5) We discuss application cycles and recommend application strategies to maximize the student’s chances of being offered admission and institutional scholarship consideration.
