• Submit Family Forms (by Jan. 9, 2025)

  Applications for the 2025-2026 school year will go live via our application portal in September and are due by January 9, 2025.

   

  From within the portal, the following family forms help us get to know your child and your family:

  • Mẫu Sinh Hoạt và Sở Thích của Học Sinh (mẫu phổ biến ở Vùng Vịnh)
  • Biểu mẫu Nhanh của Học sinh & Phản chiếu
  • Bản tuyên bố của học sinh (mẫu phổ biến ở East Bay)
  • Tuyên bố của phụ huynh

  
  Một số lưu ý về biểu mẫu gia đình:

  • We want to get to know you and your family through your responses. There are no right or wrong answers to these questions.
  • The content of your responses is much more important than the length of your writing. Though most questions have character/word limits, please do not feel the need to write more just to reach these limits.
  • All forms other than the Parent Statement should be completed by the applicant without help from adults.
  • The use of generative AI (such as ChatGPT, Bard, Bing, Claude3, etc.) is antithetical to the process of getting to authentically know our applicants and is not allowed in any part of the application.
  • Giữ các bản sao công việc của bạn tách biệt với Ravenna trong một chương trình như Google Documents hoặc Microsoft Word. Khi dán câu trả lời của bạn từ một chương trình xử lý văn bản vào Ravenna, vui lòng đọc chúng cẩn thận từ đầu đến cuối để đảm bảo tất cả định dạng và nội dung xuất hiện như bạn muốn.

• Optional: Financial Aid (by Jan. 9, 2025)

  The financial aid application is a two-step process that typically begins in early winter for families applying for admission as well as returning College Prep families currently receiving financial aid. Detailed information about the process is available on the financial aid pages of our website. 

• Teacher Recommendations (by Feb. 1, 2025)

  College Prep's application requires three recommendations from the applicant's current English teacher, math teacher, and principal/counselor. Recommendations are requested through the admission portal. Some notes about teacher recommendations:

  
  

  • Only the applicant's current teachers should submit these forms
  • We advise waiting until after November 1 to ask teachers to complete recommendation forms
  • Mẫu Hiệu trưởng/Cố vấn có thể được nộp bởi hiệu trưởng, cố vấn, cố vấn, trưởng bộ phận, v.v. nếu thích hợp
  • Though the teacher recommendation forms have a due date of January 9 for some schools, we consider any recommendation submitted by February 1 to be on time

• Transcripts (by Feb. 1, 2025)

  Học sinh lớp 9 phải nộp học bạ lớp 7 hoàn chỉnh, cũng như học bạ lớp 1, học kỳ 2 hoặc học kỳ 1 lớp 8.

  
  Some notes about transcripts:

  • Transcripts should be uploaded to Ravenna (preferred) or sent to College Prep directly from the applicant's school
  • Our preference is that the applicant's school send all transcripts (7th and 8th grade) together rather than separately
  • Ứng viên chuyển tiếp phải gửi bảng điểm hiện tại của họ cùng với hai năm trước điểm / bảng điểm

• Interview (by Feb. 1, 2025)

  Each applicant meets one-on-one with a College Prep faculty or staff member as part of their application. Interviews at College Prep are casual conversations that last around half an hour (20 minutes with the student followed by 10 minutes with the family). Interviews are not intended to be stressful -- be yourself and have fun!

  
  Some notes about interviews:

  • All interviews are conducted via Zoom
  • Các cuộc phỏng vấn chỉ được lên kế hoạch cho những sinh viên đã nộp đơn sơ bộ và trả lệ phí nộp đơn
  • Interviews can be scheduled from the portal beginning in October and take place throughout the fall and winter
  • Mỗi ứng viên được đảm bảo một cuộc phỏng vấn
  • Check out our tips for interviews here

• Assessment (by Feb. 1, 2025)

  College Prep requires all ninth grade applicants to submit either ISEE or SSAT results. Each applicant should choose one option only. The Admission Committee has no preference between the two exams.  Fee waivers for families in need are available  from the admission office for both tests. Accommodations for students with documented learning differences or physical challenges may be requested from the testing organizations.
  
  

  Option A: ISEE Exam
  Applicants can submit Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) results to College Prep.

  
  The ISEE takes approximately three hours and includes a writing sample, as well as verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, and math achievement sections. Learn more about what's on the ISEE here.
  
  

  The ISEE can be taken at home, at a school site (including College Prep), or at a Prometric test center. The cost ranges from $155 - $245 depending on the testing location. There are additional late fees for those registering within three weeks of their testing date.

  Option B: SSAT Exam
  Alternatively, ninth grade applicants can submit Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) results to College Prep.
  
  

  The SSAT takes approximately three hours and includes a writing sample, as well as math, verbal, and reading comprehension sections. Learn more about what's on the SSAT here.
  
  

  The SSAT can be taken at home, at a school site, or at a Prometric test center. The cost ranges from $169 - $255 depending on the testing location.  There are additional late fees for those registering within three weeks of their testing date.

• Hướng dẫn cho sinh viên quốc tế

  Sinh viên College Prep đến từ nhiều nguồn gốc khác nhau, bao gồm một số lượng rất nhỏ sinh viên quốc tế (được định nghĩa là những người không có quốc tịch Hoa Kỳ hoặc tình trạng thường trú nhân). Sinh viên quốc tế và gia đình của họ nên ghi nhớ những điều sau đây khi xem xét College Prep:

  • College Prep không hợp tác với bất kỳ cơ quan và tổ chức vị trí quốc tế nào. Chúng tôi mời các gia đình quốc tế làm việc trực tiếp với Văn phòng Tuyển sinh của chúng tôi.
  • College Prep does not offer any English language learning courses such as ESL or ELL. All of our classes (except for world language courses) are conducted in English.
  • College Prep is a day school. We do not offer a boarding program nor do we organize home-stays for international students. Most international students who have attended College Prep have relocated to the Bay Area with their immediate family.
  • Applicants who hold dual citizenship between the United States and another country are considered domestic applicants to College Prep. International students admitted to College Prep who require an I-20 sponsored by the school to study in the United States will be given further guidance at the time of admittance.
