Fair, to be hosted in the College and Career Center on February 
27th.College advisors will also host Community College application 
workshops and assist students with registering for assessment 
testing.More information coming soon.

1. *Sending Test Scores: *

_Sending Test Scores to UC's_:   Remember, when sending test scores to 
UC's, you only need to send them to ONE UC, and all other campuses will 
then have access to your scores.

_Sending Test Scores to CSU's_:  SAT - List the CSUMentor institution 
code so that CSUMentor can store your scores for any CSU campus to 
retrieve. The CSUMentor institution code for the SAT is 3594.

ACT - If you have listed a CSU campus as an ACT score report recipient, 
you can use the ACT Scores Manager to release your score to additional 
campuses.  Before you can use the ACT Scores Manager, you must first 
have arranged for your scores to be sent to a CSU campus. If you have 
not yet arranged for your ACT scores to be sent to a CSU campus, you can 
learn how to request this at www.actstudent.org/scores/send/index.html 
<http://www.actstudent.org/scores/send/index.html>.

*If you are registered for the December ACT or SAT, you can arrange for 
your scores to be sent to the schools you are applying to prior to 
taking the test.  You can avoid delays by following this process.

Private Colleges:  You must send the test scores to each individual campus.

2. *Sending Mid-Year Grade Reports:*  For schools on the Common App, 
your counselor who you have identified to provide a Secondary School 
Report will also upload your mid-year report (transcript) online.  For 
non-Common App schools that require mid-year reports, you must submit a 
transcript request form with a stamped and addressed envelope to our 
Registrar's Office, D-173.  Please check all of your accounts and school 
websites for requirements and deadlines.  We recommend that you check 
all of your accounts and school portals at least once per week for updates.

3. *A Few CSU's Still Accepting Undergraduate Applications for Fall 
2013*:A handful of CSU's will continue to accept applications on a 
_space available basis_, including *CSU East Bay, *CSU Dominguez Hills, 
and Cal Maritime.
For a complete list, please visit 
http://www.csumentor.edu/Filing_Status/Default.asp.

*CSU East Bay*: Applications are still open!

CSUEB offers a variety of academic programs, including highly regarded 
business administration options and pre-professional programs in 
medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, physicaltherapy, veterinary 
science, allied health sciences, law and theology. To learn more about 
this _non-impacted_ university, please 
visithttp://www20.csueastbay.edu/ (Currently accepting applications!)

4. *Educational Opportunity Program (EOP)*: What is Educational 
Opportunity Program (EOP)? The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is 
designed to improve access for and retention of historically low-income 
and educationally disadvantaged students. An EOP student has the 
potential and demonstrated motivation to perform satisfactorily at a 
CSU, but has not been able to realize this potential because of economic 
or educational background. The program provides admission and academic 
assistance to EOP-eligible undergraduate students. In many cases, the 
program offers financial assistance to eligible students. Campuses 
tailor their programs to accommodate the needs of their student 
population (CSUMentor.edu)

Who May Apply?

Only historically low-income and educationally disadvantaged 
undergraduate students who need admission assistance and support 
services to succeed in college are admitted to EOP. They must 
demonstrate academic potential and motivation, be California residents 
or otherwise eligible, and meet the income criteria.

For additional information about EOP, please visit:

http://www.csumentor.edu/finaid/steps/eop.asp

How to apply to EOP:  In your CSU application, answer "yes" to the 
question asking if you would like to be considered for the EOP.  After 
submitting a CSU application, you will receive a confirmation page. On 
the confirmation page, click on the EOP link.

If you are planning on applying to EOP and would like to receive 
assistance with your application, please visit your College Advisor (Ms. 
Price or Mr. Barton) for support.

5. *SET UP YOUR **COLLEGE** ACCOUNTS AND PORTALS:*After applying to 
colleges/universities, check your e-mail accounts frequently.  You will 
likely receive contact from the colleges you have applied to, 
traditionally providing instructions and information to set up your 
account with the particular school you have applied to.  These accounts, 
often referred to as portals, will be your main line of communication 
with each particular college/university.  We recommend checking for 
updates frequently!

6. *CSU PLACEMENT TESTS:* CSU requires you to take the English 
PlacementTest (EPT) and the Entry-Level Mathematics Test (ELM) before 
you enroll. Your scores are not used for admission purposes, but they do 
determine which math and English courses you should take to begin your 
career at CSU.  Most students will have to take the exam, but there are 
some circumstances under which you may be exempt. Seniors: If you are 
planning on attending a CSU, we encourage you to take care of this 
requirement (Placement Tests) early in the spring. By completing this 
process early, you will not have to worry about missing any deadlines 
for this requirement. Free online preparation for these exams is 
available at https://www.ets.org/csu/about/__

__

*You may take the EPT, ELM or both at a campus near you or where you 
plan to enroll.

**REGISTRATION*: Register for the Tests on the web at www.ets.org/csu 
<http://www.ets.org/csu>

7. *Common App* -- The new CA4 Version:  The new version of the Common 
App has experienced some glitches throughout the first month or so. Some 
issues have been fixed and other glitches are currently being addressed. 
Here are some basic tips and recommendations:

a.Save your work constantly!

b.Don't wait until the last minute to submit your application.

c.Compose your essay in Word and save it.  Do not type your essay 
directly into the application.  Copy your essay from Word into Notepad.  
Then, copy it form Notepad and paste it into your application. This 
seems to be the best method thus far.  This is a lot of steps, but the 
formatting and word count has been off on many applications where 
students copied directly from Word.

d.Use the Print Preview before submitting the application. Review every 
section and be sure to answer EVERY question.  Be sure to proofread your 
essay.

e.   Invite your recommenders early in the process. *After inviting your 
recommender, confirm their receipt of the Common App Recommender 
invitation.

8. *Advising Appointments for Seniors*: Seniors may drop in any day 
before school, at lunch, or after 6th period withoutan appointment to 
have questions answered.

*College****Advisor****assignments*: *Ms. Price***-- BIHS and AC 
students with last names L-Z.

*Mr. Barton* -- AHA, AMPS, CAS, GRN and AC students with last names A-K.

9. Seniors who are applying to *colleges** that are not on the Common 
Application*: please review this message for document submission

guidelines*

a. If the college does not use the Common Application:

- Download the required form (Secondary School Report) from the college 
website.

- Complete a "Transcript Request Form" (available from the BHS 
Registrar's Office in D173) and sign it.  If you are under 18, the 
parent or guardian must sign.

- Paper-clip the Transcript Request Form and the college's form to a 
large manila envelope addressed to the college, with the Berkeley High 
School address as the return address.  Put on $1.38 in postage (that is 
the large envelope 3 oz. rate).

- Turn in all the large manila envelopes to the College and Career 
Center ASAP for those applying Early Decision/Early Action (the original 
deadline to turn these in was Oct. 1) and by November 1 for those 
applying regular admission. Attach the College Application Checklist 
(available at the College and Career Center or in your senior folder) to 
the front of the envelopes.

b. Completing forms for *schools that only require an official 
transcript and not a Counselor Recommendation*:

Submit the following forms to the Registrar in room D173:

- A signed transcript request form for each college.  If you are under 
18, your parent or guardian must sign it.

- Clip each transcript request from to a stamped business-size envelope 
addressed to the college with Berkeley High School as the return 
address.  Clip all forms and envelopes together.

Remember, CSU's and UC's do not require letters of recommendation for 
admission purposes.  CSU's usually request transcripts, but they do so 
individually and they do not all have the same deadlines.  UC's will 
traditionally request official transcripts in the spring, from students 
who are accepted to their university.  It is important to check your 
email accounts frequently.

For colleges using the Common App, the counselor submitting the letter 
of recommendation (also known as the Secondary School Report) will also 
electronically upload and submit the mid-year report and final transcript.
