Tips mention:
Interview (1),
ACT/SAT (8),
Grades (3),
Sports (2),
Essay (2) | Biology
Keep taking the ACT until you get a high score. This will help tremendously with financial aid. Also, try out for anything that has to do with any talents you may have. Sports, Academics, writing... there are scholarships for these things, and they will help you get in. Overall, write a good essay. The admissions office really does review these!
Biology
Get a really good ACT score, and call them often to show you are interested.
Chemistry
Be fair to your needs as a person, trust in God, and work.
Computer Science
Abandon social life (fortunately i didnt have one to begin with)
English
Absolutely nothing. Admission is not very difficult. Just have decent grades and be involved in something, anything during high school, even if it's just the music program. You'll be fine.
| Language - French/Spanish/etc.
I found getting in to be really too easy. I did a lot of research on the Princeton Review and they made it seem at least somewhat difficult to get in (required GPA of at least 3.0 and ACT of 27 sounded exactly like me), but I was horrified to discover that these rules could (and often were) bent for people who were related to alumni and/or on sports teams. The group is still slightly more advanced than the average state school, but utterly disappointing when compared to its claims of selectivity.
I'd say that to get in, all a high school student would have to do is carry a decent GPA (between 2.8-3.5) and score "above average" on the ACT (between 24-30). If you're on the higher end of the spectrum, you're probably over-qualified.
Music - Composition/Theory
I made sure that I did fairly well in high school. Prospective students are required to write short essays(open topic) and submit them with their admission applications. Also, I took a few dual-credit classes my senior year of high school. This is a good idea; it allows you to get certain classes out of the way so you can focus more on your major. Students applying to WJC may take either the SAT or the ACT.
Music - Performance
To be honest, if you have above a 3.0, if you do decent on an ACT, and don't act like an idiot in your interview process, it's not difficult to get in. Or, if you know someone important to Jewell, it's even easier.
Psychology
I am amazed I got into the school. I think all the extra activities I did in were helpful.
History/Histories (art history/etc.)
Like most other schools, the best bet to gaining admission to WJC is to have a high GPA, and score well on the ACT/SAT. Is is an expensive school, but the financial aid office helps students out a lot.
