Extra Credit College Research

Being a junior means many things, HSPA, SATs, and all that good stuff. However, part of the fun is starting to look at colleges/universities. In honor of COLLEGE DAY here at East Side High School, I am offering you the opportunity to earn some extra credit points by researching TWO colleges/universities that you are interested in.  This is what you will do. RESEARCH two colleges and find out specific information about each one. Then, you will post your findings on the blog:
 Criteria:
·         School Name/Location/Population
·         Suggested SAT scores
·         GPA
·         5 Majors that school offers
·         Student Life
