Prospect High School / Test Scores

The Prospect H.S./Scores form records data concerning high school(s) and various testing information such as ACT, SAT, Praxis, etc. This information can be transferred automatically to the student admission form through Load From Prospect. Access the Prospect Scores form by clicking Admissions >Prospects >Change Prospect >H.S./Scores tab.

You can enter the high school related information on this tab. Additionally, you can enter in test scores for ACT, SAT, TOEFL, etc. and for custom institution specific entrance tests.

High Schools - Multiple high schools may be entered. Where multiple high schools exist for a prospect, the high school records are prioritized for CAMS reports using the following logic:

HighSchoolID values greater than zero are given priority. This prevents selection of the blank high school record if another non-blank record exists.
The most recent graduation date is given priority. If graduation data is populated in the text graduation date field instead of the date field, only the year is considered since the text data is free form and unstandardized.
Lastly, the most recent record (based on the highest StudentHighSchoolID) is given priority if more than one record has the same priority based on the first two prioritization criteria.

To enter the prospect’s high school right-click in the High Schools grid to open a new detail window. To delete a high school, highlight the row in the top grid then click the Delete button.

Note: High School entries remain linked between Prospect and Student records where the Prospect record has been loaded to Student.

Note: Applicants, via the Application Portal and Graduate Application Portal, have the ability to add custom high schools when their high school cannot be found in the portal search. These custom high schools are not automatically added to the CAMS High School Lookup. Instead, an email is sent to the address designated in the global.asa file as the Admission Email Address and a note is put in the Prospect Notes module in CAMS Enterprise in order to allow the Admissions office to review the new high school prior to entering it in CAMS.

Since prospects may take a test more than once or even take different versions of the same test, the test score records are prioritized for CAMS reports using the following logic:

Test score records are first prioritized based on their source. This prevents unofficial records entered by a student from being selected over data that is obtained from importing an official test score file. The priority of the sources is as follows:
- Official Document or Official Import
- Unofficial Document or Unofficial - Import
- High School Transcript
- Provisional
- Self-Reported
- All Other Sources
The highest composite score is given priority.
The most recent test date is given priority.
Finally, the most recent record (based on the highest CAMS_TestID) is given priority if more than one record has the same priority based on the first three prioritization criteria.
