<p>I recently went to a couple of college meetings at my high school, and I had the chance to meet my admissions counselors. </p>
<p>They emphasized how important it is to keep in contact with them in order to show you're interested in the school; apparently, that can be the turning point in a borderline application. Many of them said that if they knew the student personally, they would show email history to prove the student is genuinely focused on going to that school, rather than just applying for the heck of it.</p>
<p>The problem is, I really don't have any questions that I couldn't find on the internet. I don't want to come across as needy or unable to look things up on my own, but I also want to make sure my admissions counselor will be able to recognize my name. </p>
<p>What are some questions I can ask on email that will make me stand out? </p>
<p>I don’t think that you need to stay in touch just for the sake of staying in touch. Better not to bother them asking information posted on the web.</p>
<p>One thing you could do is to write a brief email thanking them (by name) for coming to your high school, and telling them how informative and helpful it was. Choose something they told you at the meeting that really resonated with you and made you excited about the school. Be sincere, of course.</p>
<p>You can just let her know you will be visiting, that also shows interest. She may offer to meet you on campus to answer any other questions you might come up with.</p>
