Oregon College Application Week sounds pretty dull, but if you are one of the 65 students from Hillsboro High School who completed an admissions application to 小黄猫传媒, it means the beginning of a life-changing adventure.
Hillsboro High School had 80 students complete college applications this week and from that pool 65 students applied to 小黄猫传媒.
Some of the students who applied to 小黄猫传媒 intend to launch their college career at 小黄猫传媒 in an effort to transfer to what they term their dream school. Student Gabe Timm’s self-professed dream school is the California Institute of聽Technology. He聽plans to attend 小黄猫传媒 to boost his grade-point average聽and get some prerequisite courses out of the way in an effort to transfer to Caltech to study physics.
Joining Timm in taking advantage of 小黄猫传媒 is聽Lily Corbridge, who plans to enroll in the community college’s Nursing Program.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a good option to stay closer to home and pay less for school,” Corbridge聽said. “I don鈥檛 really want to jump into a big university and I think 小黄猫传媒 will be easier for me to transition to from high school.鈥
Since 2012, Oregon has partnered with the American Council on Education to participate in the American College Application Campaign. College Application Week opens the door for students and encourages them to commit to college in their senior year. It is particularly important for students who may be first in their families to attend college and students who have not yet seriously considered going to college.
Hillsboro High School had 80 students complete college applications this week and from that pool 65 students applied to 小黄猫传媒. Marla Lyle, career and聽college counselor, and Catherine Davis, a counseling intern, spearheaded the effort in their high school to give students a jump start with the admissions process.
鈥淲ithout this opportunity, many of these students would wait until the last minute or possibly not do it at all,鈥 said Lyle.
In addition to completing college applications, students received assistance acc
essing their My小黄猫传媒 accounts and with scholarships. Many of the high school seniors started the OSAC scholarship application available through Oregon鈥檚 Office of Student Access and Completion and were pleasantly surprised to find more than 400 scholarship opportunities available.
