Opportunities For College Admissions

I am confident that I am a highly motivated candidate for College of the Mainland’s Collegiate High School program. I want to challenge myself in my education as well as strengthen my character. Education is very important to my family as well as myself. I have grown to be much more motivated, focused, and determined in the past year. My grades have improved immensely, as I’ve personally realized how important and necessary it is in today's society to have a good education.

Shenitta Niles is on her third semester at Roxbury Community College. She got her high school diploma back in 2011 from Charles Town high school. She originally started out at Bunker Hill Community College, but later transferred to Roxbury Community College due to the low cost, convenience and transportation. Although she is a mother of a young child, she attends the college full time pursuing a major in early childhood education. Constantly being around her daughter and other young children has inspired her to pursue that career. She isn’t sure on the type of field she hopes to work at once she finishes her associate’s degree, but she will continue on to a four year college pursuing this path. Nevertheless, a long term goal of hers is to

This semester I am graduating from Dutchess Community College with an Associate degree in Liberal Arts and Humanities. In addition to being offered a full scholarship, I was invited to join the honors program, which helped strengthen my writing and comprehensive skills through highly disciplined coursework. After carefully evaluating my interests and abilities, I

Mere weeks after I returned home, desperate for new experiences, I recieved an email from QuestBridge informing me about the College Prep Scholarship. It was a godsend, my chance to reach for things I’d never even considered as legitimate options for myself.

Hello there! Delayed as this email may be, I do hope to still be granted, the opportunity to speak with you today! Ordinarily, I wouldn't be so unprofessional, I took a trip with my family over the weekend, though, to a place with such poor service, that I would type something out, and then lose all reception! Consequently, losing every sentence, that I had just put down, along with it. Frustrating, yes, that it was! Generally speaking, my life could, sometimes, make for a side-splitting comedy series! Allbeit, much more desireable than a life filled with tragedies. Therefore, I'm not complaining! Finally though, I am home and can correspond with you! Once again, truly sorry. I would have definitely felt let down, had I not heard back from

The primary learning goal of the Introduction to College Studies would be preparing students for college. This course would give students very practical, “how to” tools to navigate the college process, college, and academic life. A course of this sort is not currently offered by Upward Bound, but it is in other programs nationally. Nationally programs incorporate courses like Introduction to College Studies into their curriculum because they contribute substantively to the core goal of preparing students to purse and succeed in post-secondary education. There is little research on the effectiveness of these sort of programs. Most programs utilize anecdotal evidence rather that assessing the

Throughout my life I have been fortunate enough to receive both public and private education, shaping me into the student I am today. Although these two types of education have had their negatives and positives on me, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Since fifth grade I have attended several pre-college programs through the University of Wisconsin system and have been fortunate enough to meet great people, who eventually became my mentors. I most recently completed an internship through UW-Madison’s PEOPLE (Pre-College Enrichment Opportunity Program for Learning Excellence) program, where I worked at a summer camp with elementary school kids for five weeks. This program among others, helped me prepare for the academic rigor of college in some shape or form.

As students begin their senior year of high school they are constantly bombarded with questions about their plans for their next years in the real world. We seniors often find this decision challenging as we compare the different costs and programs each college or university can offer us. Not only do we have to choose from the thousands of universities across the country, but as well as the different campuses each college may provide. Before my senior year I had little knowledge when it came to colleges. However, through my own research to find out what college may be the best fit for me I have come a long way and have been able to narrow my search down. I have learned that for many big name schools it is common for them to have a main campus

The cold night’s air is thin as it vigorously enters and exits my airways. The pasture’s foggy engulfed darkness hinders my vision. Fortunately my auditory senses are unaffected by the sun’s absence. I close my eyes; listening in hopes of hearing something. I pause, hanging on a second longer wishing that this breathless moment would be the moment. Nothing. I try again and this time without hesitation an astronomical explosion of light penetrates my eyelids. My eyes shoot open as my jaw hits the floor, as if poorly stitched together by an inexperienced mortician. Some sort of space-age looking capsule had shot down from the sky and landed onto my lawn. The object glistens with pathway forming light. Steel-gray in color and pod shaped with a circular window on its face. It calls to me. Some fifth dimensional force draws me to it. I hesitate but my curiosity apatite’s a desire for answers.

Leake Central High School has provided me with all the necessary coursework to fulfill college admission requirements; however, it does not offer AP or IB courses. Many surrounding schools offers ample honors courses; therefore, colleges are more likely to choose them to fill the prestigious honor college positions. The coursework in the academic courses offered have limited challenging aspects, so I feel that I have a small variety of advanced educational opportunities.

After a very short four years of high school where my college studies had also began, I find myself today attending Wenatchee Valley College. Here in Wenatchee I 'm continuing my college career to obtain my associates in arts and science degree in which will receive in the spring of 2016. Prior to choosing courses at WVC, I kept in mind the pre-med major I have planned to take up, and in result I have taken up a biology sequence; major cells, major plants, and the final series, which I plan to take in the spring, major animals. The remainder of my classes consisted course within the humanities, social sciences and the math departments. Between all the late hours I found myself staying up to study and managing a full time job, I would consider my performance a well-rounded decent one. As expectations for prominent academic achievement were imbedded in me from my family and school faculty in high school,

My unique highschool situation has had the largest impact on my future goals. In Chicago there is a specific subset of the public highschool system denoted as selective enrollment and within these schools are programs known as Academic Centers. An Academic Center allows seventh and eighth graders to take high school classes and are highly selective. I started attending Lane Tech’s Academic Center(LTAC) when I was twelve and the experience was life changing. School became both more competitive and more specialized. The one thousand students or so students in my graduating class split off into more specific pursuits. I joined both Alpha and the high school robotics team. Alpha is a program specific to my school which allows students to take

As the date draws closer to my senior year, my inbox begins to fill with numerous college-related emails. The labels on them were similar, "Dear Darren, Discover your future. Sincerely, Admissions." Reflecting back, four years ago, I was a clueless freshman standing in front of a building where I would call home for the next four years. During my time at Central Catholic, I have discovered a bond of brotherhood shaping me into the character that I am today. What I learned are knowledge, what I found are family, and what I look forward to is my goal—my future.

I would like to attend Clark Advanced Learning Center because I want to be a part of an environment that will foster my academic inclination, encourage leadership, and provide me with many opportunities. I have always strived for excellence, and by attending Clark, I believe that my education will flourish in the smaller school environment. With less distractions, driven students, and an academic focus, Clark’s smaller learning environment will facilitate my ambition of obtaining a superior education, clearly conveyed by the school’s top ranking among Florida high schools. The school’s dual-enrollment options also satisfy my desire to acquire my Associate's degree upon high school graduation, which will provide me with the best opportunity
