The
AHS SPRING COLLEGE FAIR!!- Monday, April 6th, 6:30-8:00 p.m. in the Toz (Red)
Gym -
Each year, approximately 130 colleges from across the country take part in the
AHS Spring College Fair. Many of the college representatives who attend
the fair are the same as those who make the admissions decisions for our
geographic area. This is a great opportunity to meet the representatives
face-to-face, to ask questions about a particular college major, and to inquire
about general admissions requirements. While the College Fair is open to all
students and their parents, junior year students are strongly
encouraged to attend! Please see the ‘Guide to Making the Most of Your College
Fair Experience’, located at the end of this post.
Below,
you will find the list of colleges that have signed up thus far, and more
registrations are coming in every day.
We will update the list periodically.

WHAT’S IT ALL
ABOUT?
The College
Fair program is a FREE opportunity for you and your family to meet with the
representatives from colleges and universities throughout the country without
actually leaving your home state. There won’t be enough time to visit with
every college and university at the fair, so we have listed some suggestions on
how to use your time most effectively.
BEFORE THE
FAIR…
Before the
fair, it’s a good idea to do a little preparation.
- Answer the following questions to help
you determine what kind of school would best suit you ( it's best to create a list BEFORE arriving):
- Do you want to attend a two or four
year institution? Co-ed or single-sex?
- What size school do you want to
attend?
- What programs of study are you
considering?
- How far from home do you want to go?
- Do you wish to participate in any
specific extracurricular activities or athletics?
- Do you want to attend a school in an
urban, suburban, or rural environment?
- Do you require any special services
(i.e., tutoring, note taker, readers, interpreters)?
- Discuss your college plans with your
guidance counselor, family, teachers, and friends.
- Research your colleges of interest on
the Internet and on naviance.
- Check dates and registration deadlines
for college entrance examinations.
- Create labels or profile cards with
your name, address, email, and phone number, name of high school, year of
graduation and your area of interest . This will help avoid time spent on
filling out Information Cards on College Fair night.
- Bring a pen or pencil and a notebook
to jot down notes about the conversations with individual college
representatives, and pick up the cards of college representatives for
future reference. It is helpful to have a specific name when
requesting information or and interview.
AT THE FAIR…
- Pick up a bag and fair directory.
- Visit with colleges and universities
you feel meet your criteria.
- Talk with a representative at the
Resource Table if you have any questions or need help with your college
search.
