Dougherty Valley High School

College: Finding Your Fit

To attend any four year college students should aim:

To follow the A-G requirements when selecting high school courses. For more information, visit Academic Planning
To get great grades all four years (D's are not accepted by most four year colleges, see your counselor for more information).
To take the SAT or ACT at least once (more if appropriate). We recommend taking the PSAT for practice in the sophomore or junior year, then taking a practice ACT and SAT during junior year to see which format you prefer, and then sign up for the test of your choice before the end of junior year.
Be involved and find something you love to do! (clubs, community service, art courses, athletics etc.)
