5.24 - School Selection

Warm-Up
POTD
QOTD: Based on your careers that you investigated last week, what kind of post-secondary (after high-school) education are you interested in? Create a list of five colleges that you would like to attend. Include a “dream” (difficult to get admitted into) school and a “safety” (relatively easy to get admitted into) school. Write a sentence or two about what draws you to each college you picked.

School Search
We will be conducting some research today on our top picks for school. Use on-line research to find the following information on each school:

  1. Tuition (instate / out-of-state)
  2. Location
  3. Program Strengths
  4. Campus Life
  5. Extracurricular Activities

Here is one link to get you started:

Compile this information in a 6x6 table on your Google Sites’ “Researching Colleges” Page


Admissions
Find the admission requirements and application deadlines of each of your schools. Post this information in a 6x3 table on your “My Colleges” page.

BONUS:
Create a tribute page to each school you chose. Include images and information about the school.
