Small Liberal Arts College (SLAC): Typically a private college that encourages a broad education with a student enrollment of under 3,000. Possible decisions include acceptance/admission, deferral to the regular decision pool (for applications submitted in the early rounds), placement on a waitlist, or denial of admission.

Junior Year – Fall (September to November) Take the PSAT. The PSAT, or Preliminary SAT, is a standardized test that gives you a sneak peek at what the SAT will be like. Plus, taking the PSAT puts you in the running for the National Merit Scholarship Program , which could help you earn some serious scholarship money for college.

We appreciate that you applied after we solicited your application from College Board’s PSAT list for $.04. We have waitlists, deferrals, appeals, and letters of continued interest that distribute spaces randomly, but we will never resort to an actual lottery. Outcomes are unpredictable and inconsistent, but that’s life isn’t it?

A school like the University of Oregon had only 17% of last year’s enrolled first-year students submit test scores. The College Board has decoupled from Khan Academy, so although Khan has a Digital SAT section– and I am using it with my students– it is not tailored to individual students based on their past PSAT/SAT scores.

A few CTK tips to consider: Tip # 1: Don’t commit until you are ready (and before the enrollment deadline) For the schools where you have been accepted, don’t let all those emails, glossy pamphlets, and stickers from colleges pressure you into making a commitment before you are ready. Watch this space as events develop.

UT doesnt value transparency because they know students will still apply in record numbers, and they will continue enrolling classes stronger than the previous year. I deep-dive similar developments nationwide in Surviving the College Admissions Madness regarding questionable enrollment and recruitment practices.
