School Finding Scenario
Mrs. Black has a daughter (Rebecca) who is currently a junior in high school and is thinking about applying to colleges. Rebecca has decided that she would like to go to be a doctor or a nurse some day and would like to go to medical school or get her nursing degree. Mrs. Black and Rebecca live in Washington D.C., but Rebecca has heard that Northeastern has a really great nursing program and wants to visit that school. Mrs. Black is excited to take Rebecca to Boston to visit Northeastern, but while they are there she would like to make the trip even more worthwhile and visit other schools in the New England area that Rebecca might be interested in attending. However, Mrs. Miller doesn't yet know of any other schools that fit Rebecca's criteria near Boston.
To make matters more complex, Mrs. Black wants to consider Rebecca's activities and qualifications:
- GPA: 3.63 SATs: Math: 730 Critical Reading: 710 Writing: 620
- Premed or nursing program
- Soccer (either varsity, club or intramural)
- In or near the city
- Greek life on campus
Therefore in order to make the most of the trip she must:
- Find schools of similar caliber to Northeastern in Boston that also have premed or nursing programs
- Find the tour times and information session times for each school on the visit
- Plan an itinerary that allows them to efficiently visit schools and get a little bit of sightseeing in
Walking Through Storyboards
In response to our scenario, we would like each of the designs we created to walk Mrs. Black through the process and generate the following list: Northeastern, Boston University, Boston College, and Tufts (all have nursing or premed programs, and are feasible for Rebecca's GPA/SAT range, some might be good fit and some might be slight reach schools).
