College Rep Visits
Meeting with representatives from colleges and military branches can provide valuable insights into their programs, admissions processes, and life after high school. Here are a few tips to make the most of these informal meetings:
Prepare Questions: Think about what you want to know. Consider asking about admissions requirements, campus culture, financial aid options, and extracurricular activities.
Research: Familiarize yourself with the colleges or branches that will be present. Knowing a bit about them can help you ask more informed questions.
Take Notes: Bring a notebook or use your phone to jot down important information and insights you gather during the meetings.
Be Open-Minded: Even if you have a particular college in mind, this is a great chance to explore other options that might be a good fit.
Follow Up: If you find someone particularly helpful or have further questions later, don’t hesitate to reach out to them via email or social media.
