Grade 11? Thinking of applying to the US to study?
Any other grade, considering the USA?
Put Monday October 19th in your iCal, Diary, agenda NOW.
At 9.00am, we have Boston University coming to visit (in my office). If you want to come along, you’ll need to get yourself excused from class and email me ahead of time.
At 10.40, in the MYP LGR, we have 6 US colleges setting up a mini-fair (as last year). These are:
Widener University, Western New England University, College of Saint Benedict/ Saint John’s University, University of La Verne, Northern Kentucky University, Loyola University Chicago
If you are thinking, ‘I’ve never heard of them, why should I bother?’ STOP thinking that, this instant! Having never heard of them is a good reason for coming – you are going to learn something new. In addition, they will all have something to say generically about the US application process. In short, if you are thinking of applying to the US, you should definitely be coming to this event.
After break, I will be asking the reps to present on The College Essay, Scholarships for International Students and Living and Studying in the USA. These mini-seminars will eat into the first half of Block 3, so please make sure you have permission from your teacher to be absent.
