COLLEGE ADMISSION
It’s not the name on the gate that matters. It’s how you take advantage of your
education

COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Not everyone will attend a 4 year college.Approximately 50% of our graduates attend Community College.California Community Colleges provide excellent preparation for transfer to 4 year institutions.

COLLEGE MYTHS
“I’ll never get into a decent college unless I take all Honors and AP
courses.”
WRONG!!Honors/AP/IB curriculum IS NOT for everyone.A solid consistent GPA in college prep courses is more impressive than poor grades earned in Honors Courses.
![Page 10: FROSH/SOPH PARENT NIGHT MISSION VIEJO HIGH SCHOOL.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110319/56649c715503460f94922b8b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
GPA Weighted vs. Unweighted
Students in an Honors, AP, or IB level course will be awarded an extra .20 to their GPA per Honors, AP, or IB course taken.
![Page 11: FROSH/SOPH PARENT NIGHT MISSION VIEJO HIGH SCHOOL.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110319/56649c715503460f94922b8b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
HONORS vs. AP vs. IB An Honors Course …
Moves faster and goes into greater depth. An AP (Advanced Placement) Course …
Is a college level class that culminates with a required exam in May.
An IB Course … Is a college level course with an IB exam in
May. Most students taking IB courses are in the IB program and working
toward earning an IB Diploma.

COLLEGE ADMISSION TESTING
Students can take a PSAT exam in October of both the Sophomore and
junior years. Students can take the Mock SAT or ACT
in February each year. These tests are given at MVHS. They
provide important practice opportunities to prepare students for the real SAT and ACT. A score report helps to identify your strengths and weaknesses.
![Page 25: FROSH/SOPH PARENT NIGHT MISSION VIEJO HIGH SCHOOL.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110319/56649c715503460f94922b8b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
