College Application Procedures
- Students should determine the number of specific Teacher Recommendations required by each institution and request teachers to complete a letter of recommendation.
- Students should provide each teacher with a stamped, addressed envelope for each school and the appropriate recommendation form, if provided. The official Acton-Boxborough Teacher Evaluation Form, available in the Counseling Center, may be substituted for the college form.
- Please make sure that your counselor has received 2 Teacher In-House Recommendations, the Parent Response Form and you have completed your resume on your Naviance Account.
- Complete the Consent for Release of Student Records for each school to which you are applying. It must be signed and include a $4.00 transcript fee checks made out to ABRHS.
When you have completed the above steps, bring the forms and the $4.00 transcript fee for each transcript request to the School Registrar's Office.
SAT and other College Board scores: In order for your application to be considered and reviewed by any college, you must have your SAT I and SAT II scores sent directly from the College Board in Princeton, New Jersey.
Complete the student portion of the College Application and mail it directly to the college, with the appropriate fee, unless directed otherwise by the college or university.
NOTE: Subject to certain limitations, students may designate the portions of their student record that will be released. However, it is customary for the District to send (and colleges typically expect to receive) grading information, weighted GPA, unweighted GPA, SAT I, SAT II, ACT test scores, chart of weighted grade average distribution, counselor evaluation, teacher recommendation, and School Profile.
NOTE: You must submit your Consent for Release of Student Records at least 15 school days before the college deadline in order to be sure that this deadline will be met.
