Hey guys, I've been hearing a lot about this thing called a CEEB code while applying to colleges, but I have no idea what it actually is or how to find it for my school. Could someone here break it down for me?
Sure, I can help out with that. CEEB stands for College Entrance Examination Board. Each high school and college in the world has a unique CEEB code assigned to it. When you're applying to colleges, they might ask for your high school's CEEB code. This code helps colleges verify the school you attended.
So how do you find your school's CEEB code? The easiest way is to ask your school counselor. They would definitely know it. Another way is to look it up online. There are several websites that maintain databases of CEEB codes. You'd enter the name of your school and the city or state it's located in, and the search should return your school's unique CEEB code.
Alternatively, if you've previously taken an SAT exam, you can also find your high school's CEEB code on your score report. This four-digit number besides the name of your high school is the CEEB code.
It's important to enter the correct CEEB code in your applications. However, if you are unable to find your school's code, many applications provide the option of entering '0000' or '9999'. In such cases, you should reach out to the admissions office and provide them with the necessary information about your high school.
Remember, the main goal of providing the CEEB code is to help colleges identify your school accurately. So, it's crucial to get this number right.
