Seniors, the countdown has officially started!!

IMPORTANT for SENIORS: CSU Application Tips for entering high school coursework Seniors,... Here is the link for the CSU Application online: https://www2.calstate.edu/apply Here are some helpful things to know when entering your courses for High School. Some of the names on your transcript are different than the course names that pop up on the application when you begin entering your courses/grades. This link: https://drive.google.com//1BjhgKmWLcps3mynJev7NRadsMr/view shows a table with some of the WHS Course Names (as they appears on your transcript) and the Course Name that will appear on the CSU application. Don't be tricked into picking "Integrated Math 2 (Edmentum)" if you did NOT take Integrated Math 2 online. Edmentum means it is an online class, which most of you didn't take. You would instead choose "Math 2" for Int Math 2. There is also a column showing which of the A-Gs these courses match to. Another place you can go to check for the correct course names (in case your course isn't shown in this abbreviated mapping) is the UC Doorways website: https://hs-articulation.ucop.edu/agcoursel/institution/2200. This lists all of the Westmont courses that the CSUs and UCs have approved for meeting the A-G standards.

In light of the latest college admissions scandal and as seniors receive admission letters, I would like to remind students: You can find happiness and success not to mention brilliance and inspiration and lifelong friendships and mind-blowing authors and really good art and really bad coffee on thousands of college campuses. The key ingredient is you. What you bring. Who you are when you get there. Who you are when you leave. You matter most in this equation.
