I just wanted to share a link to a virtual college fair I recently became aware of. This may be a helpful resource for those that are unable to travel during COVID. I know I will be encouraging my S22 to talk to a few of the participating schools… and there are a LOT! Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think.

The list of schools is pretty comprehensive https://www.musicadmissionsroundtable.org/our-members Great find!
My D22 participated today and found it extremely helpful and much more to her liking than the super crowded face-to-face college fairs from pre-covid times. There are still 2 more dates.
My S22 also participated on 10/25. He was not thrilled with going (it was going to be too awkward were his words LOL) but much to his surprise, he ended up enjoying it and getting some great information. It was interesting to hear from him that colleges had vastly different levels of preparation for the virtual fair, and it certainly impacted S22’s perception of each school. Two of the colleges I wanted him to talk to did not have working links, so hopefully that will be fixed next time. I would definitely recommend this experience to others!
