The College Application Process
(INCLUDING VOCATIONAL/TECHNICAL SCHOOLS)
School Code (CEEB#) 220655
Wahconah Regional High School uses a comprehensive college and career readiness program called Naviance to assist students with their college/career search and application process. Students will be able to find application materials, request letters of recommendation, schedule a visit with a college representative and complete transcript requests directly through Naviance.
If your school requires College Board or ACT Test scores (SAT), (ACT), be sure to take all required tests by the school published deadline. You can register online for the SAT test at www.CollegeBoard.org; you can register online for the ACT test at www.actstudent.org. Students will need to report scores directly to the schools through the test agency.
- Students who do not want their SAT score sent must notify the Guidance Office so that we may modify their transcript.
It is necessary to submit a transcript request on Naviance.com before we can submit your guidance recommendation form and official transcript.
- You must inform your guidance counselor when you submit a transcript request through Naviance, through e-mail or in person, so we are aware that you would like for us to submit that information.
- Please request transcripts through Naviance at least two weeks prior to your application deadline. This gives our office time to submit the necessary information.
Letters of recommendations from teachers and others. (Follow Each Colleges' Requirements Carefully)
- Begin requesting your reference letters early in the year; this will give the writer time to compose a more thoughtful and accurate letter.
- Your student activity sheet, parent brag sheet, and student brag sheet are available through the document library in Naviance.com and in the guidance office. These forms must be completed carefully. They are extremely helpful to us in writing your letters of recommendation.
- Students can check through their Naviance account to determine if the letters and required forms have been submitted. Remember many letters are being written at this time and it is important to be patient and consistent in following up with teachers/counselors.
- Students should thank the writers of their recommendation letters. (A handwritten note is strongly encouraged.)
Students will submit their own applications online. If you are using the common application, Naviance will communicate directly with Common Application through a link matching process. Please see your counselor or follow the instructions under the Common Application section for linking the Common Application to your Naviance Account.
If we are not given ample time to process your college or scholarship information, there is a chance we will not be able to meet your deadlines.
10 DAYS PROCESSING TIME IS REQUIRED
(The Guidance Department will be closed during the Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations)
