Seems like I need this CEEB code thing for some college applications. How do I find it? Is there a list somewhere? Help would be much appreciated!
I can definitely assist with that! CEEB codes, also known as College Board codes, are utilized to identify schools and colleges during standardized testing and application processes. This information can be found in multiple places.
The first place you might want to look is the college's official website. Many schools list their CEEB code in an easy-to-find place, often within their Admissions section. If you can't locate it there, there's another option.
Your high school counselor or college guidance office may supply you with the CEEB code of a particular college. They often have comprehensive lists of all the codes because they deal with college application processes on a regular basis.
In most situations, if you are filling out a form online—for example, the Common Application or College Board registration—you will not need to know the CEEB code. These systems have an autofill function where as soon as you start typing the name of your high school or the college you are applying to, the list will update to reflect possible matches, including the correct CEEB code.
Remember, every high school and college has a unique CEEB code, so it's important to make sure you have the correct one. Incorrect CEEB codes can lead to delays in processing your application, or send your scores to the wrong institution.
It's a minor detail, but an important one to get right. Good luck with your applications!
