Hey everyone, I've been hearing about CEEB codes recently and I'm wondering if colleges have their own CEEB codes, or if it's only for high schools? Thanks for any info!
Yes, colleges do have their own CEEB codes. CEEB codes, which stands for College Entrance Examination Board, are unique identification numbers assigned to both high schools and colleges. They help standardize the identification process and make it easier for organizations like the College Board or ACT to accurately and efficiently process applications and send test scores to the correct institutions.
During the application process, you may need to provide the CEEB code of your high school as well as the CEEB code for the colleges to which you're applying. Usually, you can find your high school's CEEB code on your high school transcript, school website, or by asking your school counselor. As for colleges, their CEEB codes can typically be found on their websites, often under the Admissions or Registrar's Office sections.
However, depending on the application system you're using (such as Common App or Coalition App), you might not need to know the CEEB code explicitly, as they often have their own search features that allow you to add colleges to your application list without needing the code. Overall, though, it's helpful to be aware of CEEB codes and their importance in the college application process.
