Hey y'all, I've come across the term 'CEEB code' a few times now when looking at college applications. Could someone please explain what they are and why they are important for the college application process? Thanks!
Hey there! Sure, let me clarify what CEEB codes are for you. CEEB (College Entrance Examination Board) codes are unique identification numbers assigned to schools, colleges, and universities. High schools have their own CEEB codes, as do colleges and universities.
When you're applying to college, you'll need to include your high school's CEEB code on your application. This helps colleges accurately identify your school and access your transcript and other academic records. It's essentially a way for colleges to quickly and accurately find information about your school during the application review process.
Typically, you can find your high school's CEEB code on their website or by asking your guidance counselor. And don't worry, if for some reason you can't find it, most online applications have search tools that let you find the code by entering your school's name and location. Best of luck with your college applications!
