  3. What College is right for you? • Reach for the Stars Schools: • -these are the colleges you really want to attend but you have reservations due to cost, distance, or criteria to be accepted. • Target (Bullseye)Schools • -these are the colleges that you pretty much know you can get into and don’t have worries about cost, distance, criteria, etc. and you do want to attend. • Safety (No Sweat) Schools • -these are the colleges that you can get accepted with your eyes closed and hands tied behind your back.

  4. Weighted GPA vs. Un-Weighted GPA • Some Schools, such as LSU, only look at your core/un-weighted GPA. That is the courses you have to take to graduate from high school. • Many schools look at weighted GPA and that is what Haynes will use to calculate Valedictorian, Salutatorian, etc. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE! DO YOUR RESEARCH!
