The National Association for College Admissions Counseling - TopicsExpress

The National Association for College Admissions Counseling released its 11th annual “State of College Admission” report. The report is based on surveys of nearly 1,000 high schools and about 450 post-secondary institutions, as well as data from the College Board, U.S. Department of Education, and the Census Bureau. Key trends noted include: Academics matter: A student’s academic record in high school is still the single most important factor in application decisions at most schools. In fact, the two top factors are students’ grades in college prep classes and the overall rigor of their high school curriculum. Standardized test scores come in third, followed by the overall high school grade point average. Applications are up: About two-thirds of colleges reported an overall increase in applications. Many students still hedge their bets by applying at multiple campuses; 28 percent of freshman beginning classes in fall 2012 had applied to at least seven schools. Competition is tough, but not impossible: Yes, individual top-tier schools are highly competitive. (Harvard accepts about 6 percent of its applicants. Stanford, thought to have the lowest acceptance rate this year, took only 5 percent.) Nationally, the picture is brighter. Overall, colleges accept an average of 64 percent of applicants. However, in 2001, the average acceptance rate was 71 percent. Most high schools offer limited guidance help: High school guidance counselors have an important job, but most are stretched very thin. In the average high school, a counselor has a caseload of twice the number of students recommended. The average counselor is able to devote less than a quarter of his or her time to college counseling. Just applying can be expensive: If you are on a budget, think twice before applying to every school that seems interesting. The average application fee is $42, up from the previous year, and 86 percent of colleges impose one. However, particularly private colleges can often waive fees.
