Zoom Meeting This Wednesday (5/13) at 11:00
  • Zoom Meeting ID: 579-360-906    Password:  spalding
  • Study Hut will be presenting at this zoom meeting.  The topic of the meeting is "Using Common Data Set To Categorize Colleges As Reach, Target or Safety"
  • Before the meeting you should update your Top 10 College List with the following data from the common data set: GPA/ACT/SAT.   Then classify each school as either a safety school, a target school, or a reach, based on what Study Hut talked in their first zoom meeting.
  • To find common data sets for a specific college, just do an online search (for example:  "University of Oregon Common Data Set")
 
Assignments For This Week:
  1. Revise and Improve ANOTHER One of Your College Application Essays (60 points)
    • After completing this assignment, you should have TWO college application essays that are very close to being a final draft.
    • The assignment:
      • Select one of your college application essay rough drafts (could be a PIQ or a Common App essay....either is fine).  Do not delete the rough draft because you will be turning in the rough draft along with the new revised & improved essay.
      • Revise this rough draft essay and get it closer to being a final draft
      • Keep in mind the length of your essay:
        • UC PIQs should be a maximum of 350 words
        • Common App essays should be between 250 and 650 words (so if you should aim for 500 to 600 words.... I would not suggest submitting an essay with only 250 words unless it is absolutely amazing with only 250 words)
      • Moving an essay from rough draft to final draft takes time and requires reading the essay over and over many times.
      • Have someone proof read your essay for you and give you comments.  This will help you in improving upon your essay.
    • Submit BOTH your rough draft essay AND your revised essay to Schoology by Friday 5/15 at midnight.
  2. Agenda Book (10 points) - Upload photos of your agenda book for this week and last week to Schoology.com
