The respondents of the study were the total population of Forty-nine (49) grade 12 students of Mamali National High School for the school year 2023-2024. The researchers adopted a survey questionnaire from Cuy and Salinas (2019) to determine the preparedness of grade 12 students. To give meaning to the data generated from the survey, the study utilized frequency count, percentage, weighted mean and correlation. Findings revealed that distribution of respondents in terms of Profile, aspiration and readiness has a significant relationship between respondents’ profile and respondents level of college readiness. Based on the findings of the study, the following recommended: Parents and teachers should support students' high aspirations by providing them with necessary knowledge and skills for college education, Senior high school students should develop a strong academic foundation, enhance skills, develop critical thinking, manage time effectively, and improve communication skills for college readiness.
