The Labor Day holiday is not only the unofficial end of summer, but it is the unofficial start of the college fair season. For the next few post I am going to offer you tips and suggestions on how to make the most of your time at any fairs you decide to visit.
Aside from collecting information from colleges, they are interested in collecting information about you. To create more time for you to actually talk to the college representatives I would advise you to invest in creating labels either yourself or professionally that contain your information. You will want to include things like: your full name, mailing address, your high school name, your GPA, class rank, SAT/ACT scores, academic areas of interest, and any activities you would be interested in participating in while at college (like the student paper, student government, etc.).
You can then just stick the labels on each information card and save yourself more time than you can ever believe. You will also appear prepared to the representatives, and when they are going through their cards at the end of the fair, they will likely remember your conversation with them since they were likely impressed by you being so prepared.
Until next time,
Chrystal
