Newman students begin the college search and selection process during the spring semester of the junior year. A College Admissions Workshop is held for both students and parents, and then each family meets with a college counselor to begin the process.

Newman graduates matriculate to a wide variety of colleges and universities across the country—large and small, public and private. Click here to view a detailed listing of where Newman graduates enrolled last year.

The vast majority of American colleges and universities do consider students’ ninth grade academic records when making admission decisions. (The few exceptions include the University of California and Stanford University.)

The best preparation for the SAT and ACT is a college preparatory course of study such as that provided at Newman. As a supplement to regular coursework, some students find the focused review and test-taking strategies presented in prep courses helpful. More economical options include online services and review books.

Spring Break of the junior year is an ideal time for Newman students to visit colleges. Other junior-year opportunities include Mardi Gras Break and summer vacation. Some families choose to visit colleges at the end of college search and selection process, after students have received their offers of admission.
