SAT/ACT Information

The SAT and ACT are college admissions tests that may be required for college admission at some universities. The SAT and/or ACT are not used by UC or CSU schools for admission. Students will need to research each private or out of state public university to see if they will need to take the SAT/ACT. Many private and out of state universities are "Test Optional" meaning that students can submit scores for these tests if they feel that it helps their application but they are not required to have test scores to apply.

TOEFL

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is occasionally required by colleges for students who are (or have been) enrolled in an English Learner course in high school. In some cases this test is dependent on a student's residency. We recommend that students check out the testing requirements of the colleges that they are interested in.

Selecting a major does not mean you will limit the career choices available to you after graduation. If you choose a major that you intrinsically enjoy, you are more likely to excel academically, you will be more motivated in the classes you take, and when it is time to start looking for a job or applying to graduate school you will be able to explain with enthusiasm why you chose your major and what you gained from doing so.  

When choosing a major it is beneficial to understand your strengths and your interests. Consider taking one or more of the Fremont self-assessment questionnaires offered through Naviance.
