Admissions Rep Visting

<p>I wasn't sure where to put this topic, so feel free to move it if it belongs elsewhere.</p>

<p>Some of the schools I'm interesting in are visiting my school tomorrow for presentations. I was wondering what sort questions I should ask to make me stand out and have them remember me? I don't want to go with the usual questions that kids ask which are pretty general and usually stated on the school's website such as requirements or tuition, etc.</p>

<p>My advice is to not worry about being remembered. Some students try to hard and get remembered for being overly pushy and irritating.</p>

<p>Take the time to thorougly review the college's web site. Write down questions that you have that the web site doesn't answer, and ask those questions at the info session. This will also help you submit an application that shows that you are applying for solid reasons.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks...yeah I just realized that they probably won't remember me anyhow unless I say pulled down my pants. I guess geniune questions do the job. Thanks :)</p>

<p>Do these info sessions provide any information that you couldn't get from the web/phone call? Are they worth going to for selective colleges that don't have to worry about student interest/yield (especially if you have to drive pretty far to get to one)?</p>

<p>hmm I'm not sure but pretty selective colleges come to my school...cornell, holy cross, boston college, nyu, etc. to name a few - they mainly come to attract our students...most of the info sessions are pretty much presented on their website</p>

<p>Colorfulpig, I think that info sessions sometimes do give info that's not on the website and can be worth attending. I personally would drive an hour to an info session if I was unable to visit the college. I wouldn't drive longer than that.</p>

<p>S has been invited to info sessions that are 2-5 hours away, and we've passed even when he has been interested in the college. Maybe we would have done it on a weekend, but these were on school nights, a real inconvenience.</p>
