The School Profile


The School Profile is an official document that summarizes important information about your school and your
student body. This document is intended to be read by admissions professionals so that college applications
coming from your campus can be considered through the context it provides.

● Keep it to a maximum of two pages. You can use both the front and the back of one page. This is
suggested because admissions officials typically download or upload these profiles to an electronic file or
system; the system may not have the capacity to upload multiple files.
● Use common fonts. You want to ensure that any electronic systems or readers can process in the original
font so as to avoid issues with formatting.
● Always have a black and white color option for uploading and printing. Color copies are visually
appealing, and depending on the electronic file or reader, it may or may not be able to process or print
in color.
● Vary the presentation of your information by including both narrative, bulleted points /
highlights, charts and graphs.
