College Application Workshop PowerPoint - (attached below)
Information You Will Need: 4-Year College Applications:
- You will need a transcript to complete the application.
- Copy of your test results (SAT or ACT).
- Activities/Awards (most specifically for UC/Private Schools)
- Social Security Number (if you have one)
- Citizenship Status
- Credit Card
Students applying should submit their applications via the web. The school is equipped with a media center computer lab for those students who do not have internet access at home. The websites for the applications for the California public schools are:
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITIES (CSU): www.calstate.edu/apply
*Filing period October 1- November 30
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA (UC): WWW.UNIVERSITYOFCALIFORNIA.EDU/APPLY
*Filing period November 1 – November 30
Those students applying to a 4-year PRIVATE school or a school out of the state of California are advised to obtain those applications via the web. Most, if not all, have downloadable applications. Deadlines may vary, check the deadlines online. Cypress High will not provide those applications.
For the Common Application: WWW.COMMONAPP.ORG
*Filing periods vary, this requires a Counselor Report and letters of recommendation (LOR).
Applications are self reported. Each student will be provided a copy of their TRANSCRIPT. They MUST use this transcript when completing their applications. Students who complete their application via memory will likely make errors which could lead to a rescinded offer of admission. Students should not send transcripts with their application UNLESS they are specifically requested. The application will clearly list those items needed to complete the application.
