Guidance

    Getting into the college of your dreams will require some work! The first thing you will need to do is find out about the requirements for admissions. Have you taken, or will you take the high school classes necessary for admission? Do you have to take the SAT or ACT? Is your cumulative average and class rank high enough to meet the admissions' standards? What is the application deadline date? The college catalog or the College Board's The College Handbook are good sources of information. Both are available in the guidance office. Or you may want to check out the web site clas.ufl.edu/CLAS/american-universities.html for more information.

    The SAT is given six times a year from October to June. In November and March, it is given at GCHS. It is given at schools around the area on other test dates; Dobyns-Bennett High School is the nearest location. Registration packets are availale in the guidance office, or check out the College Board's web site at http://www.collegeboard.org to register online.

    Students must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to apply for all types of financial aid. these forms nust be filled out after January 1 of the year you plan to enroll in college. They are avialable in the gudance office, usually around the middle of December.

    Several individuals and organizations have established scholarships for area students. Applications for the scholarships listed below will be avialable in the guidance office in late winter and spring of each acadenic year.
