The College Fair

In this episode, we help you and your student approach college fairs with a game plan instead of feeling overwhelmed by rows of tables and stacks of brochures. We discuss how to prepare before you go, which colleges to prioritize at the fair, and what questions will actually give you valuable information beyond what's on the website. Learn how to make a memorable impression with admissions representatives, what to look for in your conversations, and how to follow up effectively afterward. We'll also cover the difference between large regional fairs and smaller school-hosted events, and whether virtual college fairs are worth your time. By the end of this episode, you'll know how to turn college fairs from exhausting information dumps into productive steps in your student's college search.
