WHS College & Scholarship Application Policies & Procedures

Documents Sent By Student

• College Application (Common Application, Coalition Application, or School Specific). Complete all parts of the application, including anything “optional.”

• Standardized Testing Scores (SAT, Subject Tests, ACT, AP). These should be sent as soon as possible using www.colleboard.org or www.act.org. Wissahickon High School is NOT responsible for sending any scores. AP Exam scores are not typically reviewed as part of the application process and can be sent to the attending school later in senior year.
