When University Reps come to your school.....

Applying to College

<p>So far, I've met up with a few reps at my school (WashU, Columbia, JHU), and since not many students in my class look into private schools, it becomes sort of a one on one interview/ conversation.</p>

<p>First, I just wanted to ask, do these reps have a say in your admission? If so, what should one do to stand out?</p>

<p>I usually research beforehand and ask some things that aren't on the website and such, but would it be appropriate to give them my resume? What are some other things I could do?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Many of the Reps that come to your school will probably be the first person to read your application, so they do have a good say.</p>

<p>yeah, but what are some things I can do to help them remember me?</p>

<p>yea that's a very good question</p>

<p>Make a little cute "business card" about yorself - write all your info and contact on one side and a personalized note to the rep with thanks for something specific (i.e. advice on X issue). That will jog their memory later, when they find it in your file :)</p>

<p>they may find that annoying. imagine if every student they met with did that. they probably meet 100 potential applicants a day begging them for admissions and shrug off each one. by making a buisness card you dont really increase your chances in their eye, you are just being desperate for attention because you feel inadequate</p>

<p>reps are horrible people who feed off of our anguish.</p>
