Colleges notify schools?

<p>Do colleges send out your admission decision to your high school?</p>

<p>I think so. Well, at least some, if not all, do.</p>

<p>No... I'm pretty sure most/all don't. We have to tell our GCs and principal when we get into schools.</p>

<p>Have to, or would they simply like you to?</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>You have to tell your GC because they need to send your final marks to whichever college you decide to enroll in.</p>

<p>haha ok..</p>

<p>but yeah we pretty much have to. the principal sought me out about a week after i was accepted to a school and was like 'did you get into college and didnt tell me?' and i was like umm wow how do you know that. lol</p>

<p>plus they put our scholarships and stuff in the school newsletter and later they print all the acceptances and where everyone's going so yeah, we have to.</p>

<p>@___@ That's strange. D:</p>

<p>why is it strange?</p>

<p>Yeah, the guidance office at our school asks us to report back to it with results (we also have a bunch of sheets to fill out for statistical purposes - we get huge binders with where peopled applied, their GPA/SAT, and if they were accepted/denied/waitlisted, but it's also anonymous). </p>

<p>I'm thinking that the reporting back to your GC is also a matter of courtesy because s/he helped you with your application. (But then again, this might not be true for really big high schools.)</p>

<p>When I got in ED, the college sent my GC an admissions notice.</p>

<p>Ours also does this. The binders aren't made available until the following year, though, so you can't see your own class' data while still at the school.
Our school newspapers also print a "what's everyone doing next year" page in the graduation issue in June. It's nice to have it all listed out so you don't have to ask people constantly...</p>

<p>Last year our high school and local newspaper stopped publishing names of graduating students and the colleges they would attend. It seems they believe it violates the newly revised federal privacy laws. Makes sense -- schools are not suppose to release personal student information, even if it seems innocuous. The newspaper got around it by encouraging individual students to send in the information, but few bothered.</p>

<p>D's guidance office asks for all results; the admissions info provides good feedback to the GCs, and they use it for Naviance.</p>
