Math SAT Prep – College Project



1. Due on or before Thursday October 11 – submit name of the school that you would like to research. No duplications are permitted so we will operate on a first come – first serve basis.

2. Presentations will begin Tuesday Oct 24th (2-3 people will present each day and your poster and power point/prezzi is due the day you present) .

3. You are required to make a 6-10 minute presentation to the class in order to inform us about your school. Please time yourself, you cannot receive the highest grade if your presentation is less than 6 min. Less than 5 min is reduction in grade.

Your presentation must include each of the following on a powerpoint/flipchart or other multimedia:

• Name of school and why you selected it

• Location (include description of location)

• Requirements for freshman admission (include SAT scores, SAT II, ACT, GPA, recommendations; include statistics from recent freshman classes)

• Application fee

• Annual expenses (room, board, tuition, fees, etc.)

• Financial aid information

• Colleges/Majors for which the school is known – does the school offer a program for your field of interest?

• Information about student life (student activities/facilities, athletics, etc.)

• Graduate information (what do their graduates do after graduation, graduation rates, etc.)

• Other interesting facts about the college or university in addition to what is in a College Handbook/Naviance

• *Pictures of your school (pictures on powerpoint AND poster/pamphlet

• You may have a short video clip (less than one minute) in your presentation.

4. Create a visual aid about your college which really captures the school. Although you should use a power point (or presentation software) to present your information, you must also turn in a poster, tri-fold, or pamphlet (if you chose a pamphlet please provide at least 3 copies) that can be posted in the classroom for others to read. Your visual aid must have:

At least 3 Pictures of your school/campus, tuition information, SAT requirements, an interesting fact about your school and one other piece of information from the above list (from power point). Also, don’t forget to be neat and put your name on it(. The more creative you are, the better your grade.

*YOU MUST BRING THIS TO CLASS AND TURN IN ON THE DAY YOU PRESENT!
