Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Ohio (AICUO)

Ohio’s independent institutions include research universities, traditional liberal arts colleges, comprehensive universities, single-purpose institutions, religiously affiliated colleges, and historically black universities. There are nearly 50 private institutions in Ohio. Slide15

Why is there a difference in price betweenpublic and private institutions?

The cost of providing a higher education is generally thesame at independent colleges and universities as at publicuniversities. For example, both types of institutions incur costs associated withbuilding and maintaining classrooms,residence halls, computer facilities and libraries; paying facultysalaries; and providing career and counseling services.However, private institutions charge a higher price, or tuition,because they do not receive an educational subsidy fromthe state. Slide16

Apply to colleges that best fit personalneeds, regardless of price

The ability to pay for a college education is likely to bean important factor in selecting a college or university.However, the price of a particular institution should notprevent a student from applying to the schools of his orher choice. Every student should apply to the collegesthat best suit his or her academic, social and personalneeds, regardless of the price, because financial aidcan make it affordable to attend.Slide17

 Complete the FAFSA.

Ohio’s independent colleges and universities require prospective students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To qualify for some state and federal grant and loan programs, students should complete the FAFSA as soon after October 1 as possible of their senior year.www.fafsa.govSlide18

Evaluating Applications

Primary importance placed on:High school grade point averageACT/SAT scoresStrength and depth of high school curriculumOther important factors in the application process:Student EssayTeacher and counselor recommendation lettersExtracurricular ActivitiesSlide36

Reality Check

There are 37,000 high schools in the United States, each with a top ten list of students.370,000 seniors apply to the same group of eight Ivies and highly selective schools.Top SHS students become “typical” looking in this group.Perfect scores on the ACT/SAT are not unusual in this group.Slide37

No Guarantees for the Most Selective Colleges

No one is entitled to admission to an Ivy League or Highly Selective School.This process is an art, not a science. There is no perfect equation that will equal guaranteed admission.Many top students across the country are denied admission to the most selective colleges each year.Slide38
