allege 1 Students Thinking Atiead Considering college, students see the need to improve grades and seek advice from their counselors. The question of a continued education was a con- sideration looming in the minds of many students. The choice among technical school, college, or uni- versity, had to be decided, depending on the indivi- dual ' s goals. Over 75 percent of Leo High School ' s senior class planned to attend one of these institu- tions. Many students were concerned about the fi- nancing of their college goals and how much the college they were interested in would cost. Students could apply for financial aid from the government in the form of grants or from various places that offer scholarships for a student ' s achievement. Students were also concerned about what colleges are looking for in a student. Colleges first look at a student ' s class rank to determine if the student has the ability to handle the college work load. Then, photo by Paul Newberg they take into consideration the G.P.A. and S.A.T. scores. Colleges basically take into account this in- formation as a whole to determine if a student is prepared to enter college. Universities such as Indi- ana, Purdue, and Ball State, which are the most pop- ular with Leo students, generally require students to be in the top half of their class.
