College admissions representatives (reps) often visit high schools to provide informational programs to students.  Done in small groups, these visits include information on academic programs, admissions requirements, financial aid/scholarships, and campus life.  In some cases, reps will evaluate a student's credentials and offer on-the-spot admission or can provide students with a point of contact with whom they can send questions.  A college visit can also convey to reps that a student is seriously interested in their school.

 

The following schools are scheduled to visit Ewing High School.  Space is limited for each college visit and will be on a first-come, first-served basis.  Juniors and Seniors (only) must sign-up for all visits in the Guidance Office or on Naviance under the College tab.  Most visits will take place in the EHS Guidance Office Conference Room from 8:50am - 9:30am  (location and specific time will be noted on student's pass*).

College Fairs

 

College Fairs provide students and parents/guardians with an opportunity to gather information about several different colleges at once.  Typically, there are rows of college tables staffed by representatives (reps) to answer your questions about admission requirements, academic programs, student housing, and campus life.  Additionally, many college fairs have special workshops on financial aid or admissions testing (SAT or ACT). 

 

While attending a college fair be sure to:

 

• Bring a pen and notebook and take notes
• Pick up a bag to hold any applications or brochures or bring your own in case none are provided
• Check out the floor plan and map out a route to make sure you visit all of the colleges on your list
• Note when and where information sessions are being held (attend any that could be useful)
• Have a list of specific questions ready to ask college reps; be sure to thank them and ask for a business card (you may have questions after the fair is over)
• Ask about application fee waivers when speaking with reps (many colleges will waive their application fee just because you visited their table) 

 

After the fair:

 

• Look through your notes and eliminate the colleges that are not a good fit
• Do more research on the schools left on your list
• Contact the college reps if you still have questions or would like additional information
• Plan to attend an open house
