Considerations for College Keep your grades up throughout the entire year! Questions to ask when registering: 1. Do I/will I have the necessary credits to graduate? 2. Am I taking a well-balanced academic course load that will provide me with a solid foundation for college? 3. Am I preparing myself to take college-level math, writing, and science courses? 4. Am I seeking challenge or avoiding it? 5. Overall, does my four-year high school program of study adequately reflect to colleges my overall skill and ability, work ethic, drive, commitment, academic readiness? 6. Are my course selections among the most challenging programs available to me at this time? ÂŠ 2016 Archbishop Moeller. All Rights Reserved

Why AP? Be challenged. Advanced Placement classes are rigorous and demanding, offering an intellectual stimulation that students won’t get in regular high school courses. Improve college admissions chances. If a student does well in an AP class, it’s a signal to admissions counselors that he or she is ready for the pressures of college study. Arrive at college better prepared. AP classes sharpen students’ writing skills, teach them how to think critically, and improve their problem-solving abilities. AP students learn to navigate the academic expectations they’ll encounter in college courses. Earn college credit. AP exams are scored on a scale of 1 (lowest) through 5 (highest). If a student earns a 3 or higher, he or she can receive course credits, advanced placement, or both upon arriving at college. Earn scholarships. AP courses and exam scores help students qualify for scholarships. According to The College Board, 31 percent of colleges and universities look at AP experience when making scholarship decisions.
