Admission Requirements
Each college and university has their own entrance requirements. Applying for admission to college is just like trying to get a job. There will be an application and there are a number of things that make you stand out and in some cases can eliminate you from consideration.
SAT Score
One of the most important admission requirements is your SAT score. Many schools have a minimum English and Math score and you must meet this threshold before being considered for admission. You might have to take the SAT test a second time to try to improve your score. Remember you are competing against other students for admission; make yourself standout!
GPA - Grade Point Average
Your high school GPA is a very important factor in your application. Take advanced placement classes, honor courses and make good grades so that you can have a high GPA.

4 years of English, 2 years of Algebra,
1 year of Geometry, 2 years of the same foreign language, 2 years of science, 2 years of a social science. If you plan on going for a technical degree, additional math, chemistry and physics would be required.
