Campus Visits and Interviews – Introduction
Make plans to visit your selected
colleges and universities. In-person
visits will allow you to get a feel for each campus’s atmosphere,
set up interviews with admission officers and a professor in your major,
and to talk with current students.
Plan to visit your 7 selected
colleges and universities. Seniors – plan
to visit college campuses in June, July or August 2010 or in fall 2010,
and possibly in spring 2011. Juniors – plan to visit campuses
in spring 2011 and/or summer 2011. Some students wait to see which
colleges they are accepted to before visiting them. It’s
up to you, but we recommend visiting colleges before and after you get
accepted to thoroughly evaluate them. After all, you are going to spend
four years of your life in college so you must be happy at the college
campus you choose.
Set up interviews with an admission officer and a professor
who teaches a subject in your major. Interviews are optional, but an interview will
show your interest and enthusiasm and will provide the opportunity to
have some of your questions answered. Also, interviews provide
the opportunity to impress college representatives. Plan to bring your
parents along on summer visits. It will be good to talk about your impressions
of each college and university.
PARENTS! Plan to attend college campus visits with your student. Be
ready to discuss findings and impressions with your student and help
with important decisions.
