Hi everyone, I'm an international student and I need to find my school's CEEB code for my application. How can I find this information if my school isn't a U.S.-based institution? Is there any reliable source I can use?
Hi there! To find your school's CEEB code, you can try the following steps:
1. Check with your school counselor or principal. They may have this information on hand, as it's often needed for college applications and standardized tests.
2. Use the online school code search provided by the College Board. Go to their website and search for "CEEB code search." This should direct you to their tool, where you can enter your school's information and hopefully locate the code. Keep in mind that not all international schools may be listed here, but it's worth a try.
3. Contact the college or university you're applying to directly. Explain your situation and ask for guidance on how to proceed. They might have a process in place for students who do not have a CEEB code or can provide you with an alternative.
4. In some cases, you might be able to use a general international school code—like 9999—if you're having trouble finding a specific code. However, it's essential to verify with the college you're applying to before using this code.
Be sure to start this process early to avoid any delays or complications in your applications. Good luck!
