Select factors in any or all of the categories to help narrow down a list of colleges that match your interests. In order to save your colleges, you must manually save each one. To do this, click the "Add To List" link next to that school on your list of generated schools. That school will show up in the Colleges I'm Thinking About section. This will help keep the colleges you are interested in organized.
• College Match This tool will allow you to use historical GPA and test score information about students from WRHS 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. If a particular college never appears in the results, it may be because no one from West Ranch has ever applied to it.
• College Compare This tool allows you to compare average grade point averages and test scores for accepted students from WRHS at up to ten colleges. School averages are displayed in green when your number is higher and in red when your number is lower. Your PSAT score, if available, has been converted to the equivalent SAT score and compared to the average single SAT score of an accepted student. The column labeled "Accept" shows the number of students accepted out of the number of students that applied.
• College Resources This link has a comprehensive range of resources on the following topics: College and Careers, Financial Aid, Test Preparation, College Athletics, and the Military.
• Scattergrams – this amazing tool allows you to visually see how you compare to other WRHS students who have applied to these colleges based on your grade point average and ACT or SAT score.
• Acceptance History & College Maps Check out these links to see how many WRHS students have applied, been admitted, and are now attending specific colleges and universities around the United States. FYI - Since this was the first year for WRHS using Naviance, its data base only has historical GPA and test score information from the class of 2011.
