Colorado State University Information Session - Colorado State University Representatives will be on hand to provide information about admissions, academic programs, financial aid, scholarship opportunities, housing and student life. The session will be on March 6th from 2:00-3:30 at the Embassy Suites in Santa Clara.
The Spaulding Wooden Boat Center in Sausalito, inspired by the untapped potential of today’s youth, is excited to offer high school students a unique opportunity—a rewarding and challenging apprenticeship in the art and skills of traditional wooden boat construction, seamanship and environmental stewardship. For more information about the Youth Apprentice Program, visit their website.
College of the Week - This week we had the privilege of hearing Michael Thomas speak. He is a professor of Creative Writing at Hunter College in New York City. Hunter has about 20,000 undergraduate students and is part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system. If you are looking for an extremely diverse, urban campus, with many majors to choose from look no further!
My Schedule this Week - I will be on campus Monday 10-4, Wednesday 9-5 and Thursday 9-4. I check email regularly on days when I am not at school but do not check voice mail.
FOR JUNIORS
It's time to register for the SAT and/or ACT! The registration process can take an hour or more but I have short cuts and tips to cut that way, way down. I'll walk you through the process and there will, of course, be treats at the end of the process! Your last opportunity to do this with me is on Monday 3/1 at 10:50 during Workshop/Study. Email me now to reserve one of the last 3 spaces.
How can I research colleges? Visiting is always the best way to research a college but there are a number of other ways to gather the information you need to help you decide if a campus would be a good fit for you. I would like to meet again with each of you during March to not only check in but also and show you some ways to research your colleges. Please use the sheet on my door to sign up for time this week or next.
SAT Prep Class begins this week - The Eureka Review prep class begins prompt at 2:45 on Wednesday. Students will be notified of the class room location. The class is full with 8 students but if enough additional students are interested, there may be another class formed. Please contact me if you are interested in this possibility.
SAT and ACT Registration Dates - The next SAT will be given on 3/13 (late registration has past but students can test as a standby - see me for details) and the next ACT on 4/10 (the registration deadline is 3/5). I recommend students take the SAT in May or June, the ACT in April or June and, if the student has over a 3.0 GPA, 2 subject tests in May or June.
FOR SENIORS
Got news? March is the month when you will hear from your remaining colleges and as your news arrives, don't forget to let me know.
