Description

The first thing on a student’s list is to visit colleges to which they would like to apply. It’s so important to walk on campus to get a “feel” for whether it’s the place for you. Talking to faculty and students gives opportunities to get answers to relevant questions. The application process can be daunting in itself with the different deadlines, whether or not to submit standardized test scores and if one should request an interview when it’s “optional”. Join us and learn information to help make this process more manageable.
