Are you thinking about going to college? Consider joining my EAOP Cohort! As part of my cohort, you will have the opportunity to join FREE academic enrichment programs (please read description to the right), have engaging and consistent 1-on-1 advising, and attend informational workshops. You can utilize me as much or as little as you want, and you will be in this program until the end of high school. My goal is to assist you in this process of figuring out what you want to do after high school. Also, being a part of this program looks great on college applications! If you are interested, please pick up an application from me in the College and Career Center, B5.
UC Berkeley Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP)
EAOP is a state-wide college preparatory program sponsored by the University of California. For over 30 years, EAOP has helped students prepare for college by creating a community of young scholars and offering college-preparatory advising and academic enrichment opportunities. EAOP at UC Berkeley currently serves approximately 3,000 students from San Francisco, Contra Costa and Alameda counties.
The mission of EAOP at UC Berkeley is to prepare students from under-resourced communities for admission to colleges and universities. Students who are enrolled at an EAOP Partner School and maintain a 2.8 GPA or higher in their college preparatory coursework are eligible to apply to the program. Priority is given to students from low-income families and/or students who will be the first in their family to go to college. In general, students are invited to apply during the spring of their 9th grade year.
We accomplish our mission by:
- Offering intensive academic enrichment opportunities including preparation for college entrance exam
- Providing timely college preparatory information and advising
- Creating workshops for parents to help them better support their students on their journey to college
*Please note that in order to participate in any of the following enrichment programs, you must join my cohort by submitting an application, which can be found in the College and Career Center, B5.
The Pre-College Academy (PCA) is a six-week summer academic enrichment program for students going into the 10th and 11th grades. PCA students are enrolled in two courses, one in a theme based college writing course and another in math. PCA also includes co-curricular activities that provide students with a chance to build community with other college bound students in the Bay Area.
The SAT Academy prepares students to take the SAT Reasoning Test, an important component of the college admissions process. This ten-week program begins in January and culminates with students taking the March SAT at no cost.
EAOP partners with UC Berkeley Summer Sessions to offer students the opportunity to enroll in a six-week UC Berkeley course during the summer. EAOP students going into their senior year and who have a 3.5 GPA (weighted) or higher are eligible to apply. Past courses have included Environmental Earth Sciences, Ethnic Studies, and Greek & Roman Mythology.
M-Th 9:00AM- 4:30PM in the College & Career Center (B5)
