Preparing for life after high school starts with understanding the college entrance exams that can open doors to your future. The PSAT, SAT, and ACT are nationally recognized assessments that help measure college readiness and are often required for college admissions and scholarships. These exams not only highlight your academic strengths but also connect you with opportunities that can shape your postsecondary journey.

A school's priority deadline is the deadline you must apply by in order to guarantee a chance of your application being reviewed. It can also be used to give priority to things like student housing, program spots, and financial aid. If you apply after a priority deadline, you still have a chance of your application being reviewed, but only after all the applications of students who submitted by the deadline. Therefore, we recommend applying by priority deadlines whenever possible to maximize your chances of getting admitted and having access to resources you want from the school.

*Note: Schools have terms such as Early Action, Early Decision, Regular Decision, Rolling Admission, etc.
