About College
College Search - To start, begin with a section that's
important to you. It's up to you which questions you answer and in what
order. You can view your results at any point along the way by clicking
View Matches. Once you have narrowed down your list of schools, you will
be able to compare these colleges using historical admissions results
from your own school.
College Lookup - Start here to research a specific
college. We always recommend that students visit the college's website
for the most up-to-date information. There is a direct link to the
website on each college's Naviance homepage.
College Match - This tool will allow you to use
historical GPA and test score information about students from South
Brunswick High School and their college applications to match you with
colleges that you may want to consider adding to your list. Please note
that there are many factors which can affect admissions decisions and
the results of this search do NOT guarantee in any way whether or not
you will be accepted at a particular college.
College Compare - This tool allows you to compare
average GPA's and test scores for accepted students from SBHS at up to
ten colleges. School averages are displayed in green when your number
is higher and red when your number is lower. The column labeled
"Accepted" shows the number of students accepted out if the number of
students that applied.
Scattergrams - This tool allows you to visually see how
you compare to SBHS students who have applied to a particular college
based on your GPA's and SAT/ACT scores.
Acceptance History - When you find a school that you
are interested in, click the link for more detailed information about
how you compare to past applicants from SBHS. In particular, look at
overlap schools and school stats in both numerical and graphical
formats.
Visit Schedule - College admissions representatives
visit SBHS throughout the Fall. To see what colleges have scheduled
visits, go to "colleges" and then "College Visits".
Scholarship List - Click here for a listing of
scholarships of which we receive notice. Many of these scholarships are
from local, community or state organizations.
Scholarship Match - Based on information in your
profile, your resume or your game plan, scholarships are matched with
your qualifications. The more information you complete in Family
Connection, the better the matches.
