Spring is the season for students and parents to attend college fairs and information sessions. These are terrific opportunities to connect with admissions representatives and learn more about prospective colleges.
Here is The Coach’s list of suggested spring events:
- Mercer County Regional College Fair – Mercer County Community College, April 25
- NJ National College Fair – Meadowlands Expo Center, April 26 & 27
- Monmouth County Regional College Fair – Brookdale Community College, April 27
- Exploring College Options (Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, UPenn and Stanford) – Monroe Township, May 15; Mount Laurel, May 17; Morristown, May 21; Woodbridge, May 22
- Colleges That Change Lives Fair – New York City, May 21
- SUNY College Fair – Whippany, May 22
- Exploring Educational Excellence (Brown, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell and Rice) – Iselin, June 6
Coach’s Tip: Did you know that admissions counselors attending regional college fairs are the same people that will read your application when (if) you apply. Introducing yourself at a local event is one of the best ways for students to demonstrate interest and put a face to their application file.
