Hey guys! I'm in the midst of the college application process, and I've come across the term 'CEEB codes' a few times. Can somebody explain what they are and why I need them? Is there some sort of database where I can find the CEEB codes for the colleges I'm applying to? Thanks!
CEEB codes, also known as College Board codes or College Entrance Examination Board codes, are unique identification numbers assigned to high schools, colleges, and universities. These codes are primarily used during the college application process for accurate and efficient data processing.
You may need to provide a CEEB code when submitting your SAT or ACT scores, filling out the FAFSA for financial aid, or applying to colleges through a platform like the Common App or Coalition App. Using the correct CEEB code helps ensure that your test scores and other important information are sent to the right institution.
To find the CEEB codes for the colleges you're applying to, you can either visit the College Board's website or search for the code on the college's official website, as most schools list their CEEB code in their admissions section. If you're having trouble locating the code, you can also contact the college's admissions office for assistance.
As for your high school CEEB code, you can find it on your high school's website, ask your high school counselor, or search the code on the College Board website. Make sure to double-check these codes before submitting your applications to avoid any confusion or delays in processing.
