College Exploration Unit

It's time to start putting together a list of colleges to which you would like to apply!  

I'm so glad that so many of you have already taken the initiative to visit colleges.  I hope that you will be able to share some information about the school that you have visited.

The goal of this unit is to (a) find about as much information as you can about a college that you will potentially be applying to next year and (b) expose your peers to a college that they might like to learn more about.

College Exploration Project (Fourth Quarter Project for Juniors)

  • Assignment Sheet and Rubric
  • Student Work Samples (Exemplars/Mentor Texts)
    • Andrew Cronin (presentation on Bentley)
    • Martha Nkangabwa (presentation on Northeastern)

2016-2017 Common Application Essay Prompts

These students learned about college in Mr. Ambrose's class:

Roger Zurawicki, Harvard '16

Elyse Traverse, Harvard '11

Arantxa King (depicted with fellow Olympian Kobe Bryant), Stanford '11

Chris Vaudo, Boston College '13

Kiley Callahan, Boston College '13

Susan Trinh, Brown University '13

These students sat in the same desks in room C114 as you do now.  You can go out and do great things at great schools, too!
