College Counseling

The purpose of college counseling is to provide guidance during the college search and application process. Beginning in Upper School, students and parents gain access to Scoir, a commonly used data-collection system necessary for college application preparation and completion. Curriculum delivery occurs during the advisory period at different points of the year for each grade level, with increasingly comprehensive instruction each subsequent year. In addition, the department sends routine newsletters and announcements to juniors and seniors.

Grades are reported on a 100 point (percentile) scale, with 60 as the minimum passing grade and minimum mark for college recommendation. It is the policy of TMI not to rank its students.

Semester grades appearing on the transcript are unweighted. Honors & Advanced Placement courses are weighted when calculating the cumulative GPA only. Additional points awarded:

• Honors: +3 points
• AP Courses: +5 points

• TMI Episcopal will welcome college representatives for in-person visits beginning September 1, 2022. In-person or virtual visits may be scheduled through Scoir, which will go live in August. Please direct visit questions to Diane Alexander: d.alexander@tmi-sa.org.
• The Private & Independent Schools of San Antonio College Fair will take place during TACRAO week. College representatives must RSVP to secure a table. Invitations will be sent to colleges during the week of August 1.
• If your institution is interested in hosting special virtual events such as a case study or a joint information session with other colleges, please email Sarah Murphy: s.murphy@tmi-sa.org.

Student discipline records are not disclosed to colleges and universities, except in cases of disciplinary expulsion.
