College Preparation 11 is an elective course designed for students who are interested in applying to colleges outside of Mexico, to help them prepare for the application process. Students may take College Prep 11 in the spring semester of their 11th grade year. Course Description: College Preparation 11 is an elective course designed for college-bound juniors. Students will begin by researching university summer programs, and possibly find a summer program that they would like to attend. Next, students will examine their own interest in attending college outside of Mexico, their career aspirations and their long-term goals. Students will then use a variety of research methods to create lists of potential colleges. Students will also learn the details of the application process for universities in Canada and the United States. The students will spend some time learning about and preparing for college admissions tests including the SAT Reasoning Test, SAT Subject Tests, the ACT and the TOEFL. However, it should be noted that College Prep is NOT a test-prep course; the time spent on college tests is only a few weeks. Finally, there will be culminating activity in which students will participate in a college admissions simulation, where they will act as the admissions committee and evaluate the applications of four imaginary students.
