MCS
& College
At Maine Coast Semester, we realize that the junior year is critical in the college application process. To assist our students in planning for their college careers, MCS hosts a college day each spring semester. On that day, we are joined by college counselors from some of our member schools as well as from local high schools who help our students compile college lists and begin thinking about the next step in their college search. Additionally, each semester students typically visit area colleges such as Bates, Bowdoin and Colby through visits organized by MCS faculty and staff. Many students use their vacations to visit other New England Colleges as well (see calendar). Following are the schools that our students have most often attended (Bold indicates 10 or more attending): Amherst College (5) |
My junior year of high school was incredibly unique and has had a huge impact on my college search, and even future career search...I would not say that MCS planted in me something that was not there before, but the experience opened my eyes and my mind to an area that I found myself deeply interested in. Not only do I now have a greater appreciation for the food that I consume and natural resources that I use, but I’ve found a deep fellowship with others who are also environmentally aware. A lot of high school juniors spend this critical year visiting colleges and filling out a plethora of applications. I did this to some extent as well, but mostly, with the help of MCS, I nurtured a newfound passion that will ultimately play a huge role in my life through college and beyond.
