1. Where is this school located? How long would it take you to get there from Garnet Valley? How do
you feel about this distance?

3. List three sports, clubs, and/or organizations that the school offers that interest you. Consider Greek
life (fraternities/ sororities), campus ministry, study abroad opportunities, community service
organizations, etc.

- One activity I’m interested in is Younglife. It’s a faith based organization they have that I participate in
now as well. After researching a little, it seems they meet every week and also do fun things on campus
together.
- Another activity I'm interested in is different volunteer work such as Relay For Life. This is something
I’ve participated in when I was younger and enjoyed very much. I also like helping the community so
any volunteer organization would be cool to do.
- The last activity I might be interested in is joining a sorority. My cousin is in a sorority and my brother
is in a fraternity so it’s something a little familiar with. I think it could be an awesome way to meet new
people and a cool experience.

SAT’s to know where I may score and fall in the range.
