IN MAIA LEARNING :

Click on the college name - the categories are:

Overview/Community/Admission/Analysis/Essays/Degrees and Majors/Varsity Sports/Cost

Click on the “Cost” tab to see the tuition cost of that college.
The Analysis tab will show Campolindo Admissions stats from previous admissions cycles. Use directionally. Colleges use holistic review for applicants and the scattergrams only show GPA/Test Score. You CANNOT see the rigor of schedule (i.e, number of AP courses, college courses taken), students accepted major, and the “context” of their story through essays.

For the latest College Visits, Academy and other College & Career Center Events, click on Upcoming Events on CCC website, go to MaiaLerning/Events or read the weekly Parents Club Bulletin.

How to Sign up for events:
