Submitting an application to Sampson Community College

I'm getting ready to apply to Sampson Community College. Can anyone walk me through what the application process is like and what materials I might need? Anything specific I should know before starting?

Sure, I can help you with that. The application process for community colleges like Sampson Community College tends to be straightforward.

1. Application form: Primarily, you will need to fill out an application form which is usually available on the college's website. Most community colleges have rolling admissions, meaning they accept students year-round, and it typically takes 2 weeks to hear back.

2. High school transcript: You will also need to request your high school transcript. Your guidance counselor can usually help you with this. The transcript should include your GPA, class rank, and the classes you took.

3. Entrance Assessment: Some community colleges may require an entrance assessment if your high school GPA is low or if you didn't complete high school. This assessment measures your skill level in Math and English, and helps determine what level of these classes you should begin in school. Schools like Sampson Community College often use the ACCUPLACER or COMPASS exams.

4. Application Inquiry: Still unsure? You can check the specific requirements for Sampson Community College by contacting their admissions office directly; you can usually find this information on their website. They can walk you through the process and make sure you have submitted everything necessary.

Finally, keep in mind that if you plan to use financial aid, you will also need to fill out the FAFSA. This is a federal form that assesses your financial need and determines how much aid you qualify for.

Good luck with your application!
