In the past two years, 81 MVCDS graduates have attended 53 different four year colleges throughout the country. Students matriculate at a range of schools: large, public universities like University of Michigan, Ohio State University, and Indiana University; small, private colleges like Williams College, Kenyon College, and Claremont McKenna College; and everything in between. Many students attend very selective colleges like Yale University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, and so on, and some students choose to apply to and attend colleges that have a certain program, major, athletic team, or location that appeals to them in particular.

In short, yes. Maumee Valley academics are tough, and colleges know this. So, while sometimes a student’s GPA is a little lower than it might be at another high school, their academic preparation has helped boost their SAT or ACT scores and also gives their grades a great deal of credibility because the admissions office knows they were earned in tough classes. Also, as part of our college advisor’s work, we bring people from colleges to campus and network with them to educate about the strengths and programs at Maumee Valley.

Students should absolutely visit a range of colleges well before sending out any applications. Schools differ in size, setting, location, student body, facilities, etc., and the best way to figure out what you prefer in a college is to go see it. Furthermore, many colleges track the interest you demonstrate in their school, and use it as a factor in determining admission. This is why we put together a college tour for 10th and 11th graders annually to encourage students to travel around to different colleges (we see a different set of schools each year) and check them out first-hand.

Maumee Valley's college advising program is extremely comprehensive and personal. Mr. Jaffee meets with students individually at least five times from 10th-12th grade, and parents are included in a few of those meetings as well. Students get help building a college list, researching colleges, visiting colleges, drafting and revising college essays, completing applications, requesting recommendations, and applying for scholarships. Mr. Jaffee works with parents on learning about college admissions, applying for financial aid, scheduling standardized tests and preparation, and a range of other college-related topics. In the role of advocate, three original references are written by teachers and the college advisor, and phone calls are made to admissions offices on behalf of each student.
