This is how College Board Admissions Opportunity Program will work if you choose to participate:
There is no guarantee of admissions, scholarships, or financial aid. Any offers of admission you receive may require you to complete additional steps as defined by the college. The college may also require confirmation of information it relied upon in making an offer for admission. Each college makes the decision on offers of admission. College Board is pleased to coordinate this program while protecting your privacy but is not involved in any of the selection or decision making by the colleges.
- Participating colleges will review certain, limited information about the students who choose to be part of this program, in a de-identified format and make a decision on which students to provide an offer of admission.
- Though participating institutions are test-optional, test scores may be part of the decision-making process for this program.
- College Board will not disclose any personally identifiable information about you to participating colleges as part of this program, unless and until you separately opt-in to sharing it (optional).
- If a college decides you're a match for them, we will send you an exclusive email offering preliminary admission on behalf of the college.
- If you don't receive an offer through this program, you can still apply using the regular application process.
- If you want to claim the admissions offer, you will go to a school-specific website link provided in the email. The school will let you know about next steps to enroll such as submitting your final transcript to complete the admissions process. After you get the offer, you may share more information directly with the college to consider a comprehensive financial aid package as well as confirm admission and enrollment.
