ARE YOU A SENIOR AND YOU ARE APPLYING TO San Jose State?  Remember that since it is an impacted school they will decide admissions based on the A-G GPA and SAT/ACT scores.  Make sure you have contacted either/or the College Board or ACT.org to have your test scores officially sent before Thursday Dec. 22nd.  Also on-campus housing is required of all incoming freshmen who live further than 30-miles from the campus.  Also, incoming students need to take their ELM/EPT tests asap, beginning in January and if students need remedial classes they may take them at a CSU, like CSUN, for example, the summer of 2012, before they begin their fall classes at San Jose State.

SENIORS:  The Milken Family Foundation has a scholarship worth $2000 each year of college.  If you have a GPA of 3.6 or above, an ACT score of at least 28 or a SAT composite score of at least 1850, if you are active in your community with a record of leadership, and can demonstrate financial need, please come see Mrs. Goller in the counseling office.
