What are things to do after attending a college fair?

Answer 1

College fairs are a great way to get info on specific colleges and meet college admissions officers. But you have to be prepared. If you don't know what you are doing, you won't get much out of them - just a collection of brochures that you could have easily received in the mail.

Here are some helpful tips for making the most out of your college fair visit:

Get informed: Talk to your high school counselor to find out which fairs are being held in your area. * Do your homework:Know which colleges are going to be represented at each fair and research the colleges that are of interest to you. This will help you think of specific questions you would like to ask. * Write down questions: Write down college-specific questions in advance so you don't forget something while standing in front of an admissions officer. College fairs tend to have a high turnout and you want to make sure you don't get flustered as a result of the crowds. * Stay on target: With big crowds you might not be able to meet with every school. Choose the schools you really want to learn more about and target those. * Dress professionally: College representatives are more likely to take you more seriously if you're wearing dress pants and a collared shirt as opposed to sweatpants or ripped jeans. Looking professional will help you stand out as a serious candidate. * Cover more ground: If you go with your parents, split up. You don't have much time, so separating from your parents allows you to cover more ground. They can act as agents for you. * Make labels: Make a sticky label with your contact information to save time so that you can visit more booths. Otherwise, you will have to write and rewrite your contact info at each booth.
