Private Colleges
It is recommended that a student and his/her parents study the catalog of the desired school due to the diversity of admission requirements among private schools and out-of-state universities. College catalogs from all areas in the U.S. are available at our high school or may be obtained by writing the Director of Admissions of the college or university.

Generally, the subjects required for the University of California meet most of the requirements for private schools. Most private schools require the SAT or ACT and may also require CEEB Achievement Tests in specific areas.
