PREPARING STUDENTS FOR THE FUTURE COLLEGE READINESS
COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE Ninety-nine percent of the school ’ s graduates are accepted into institutions of higher education , while many others pursue a professional career in the arts industry upon graduation . The OCSA senior class is typically offered nearly $ 20 million in scholarship funds each year . OCSA graduates continue to be recruited by the nation ’ s top universities and conservatory programs , and the school has launched the careers of some of today ’ s most successful artists , creators , and innovators .
COLLEGE FAIR Each year , OCSA hosts a two-day College Fair on its campus , enabling students in grades 9-12 to meet and network with college representatives and decision-makers from across the country . Students and parents alike are encouraged to attend and take advantage of the following opportunities :
• Information booths with representatives from more than 150 colleges and universities
• Academic-related panel discussions with information on majoring in various subjects
• Arts breakout panels , workshops , and master classes presented by colleges across the nation
• Information sessions on financial aid , writing personal statements , placement tests , college basics , and the Cal State / UC application process
“
OCSA invests in its students by giving them opportunities that they wouldn ’ t have elsewhere . The impact that OCSA had on my life is part of the reason why I got into all eight Ivy League universities .
