The Arlington High School Spring College Fair
Henry Toczlyowski Gymnasium (Red Gym)
Monday, April 1,2019
6:30pm – 8:00pm
WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
The College Fair is a FREE
opportunity for you and your family to meet with the representatives and alumni
from colleges and universities throughout the country without actually leaving
your home state. There will not 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 determine what kind of school would best suit
you:
- Do you want to
attend a two or four-year institution? Co-ed or single-gender?
- What size school
do you want to attend?
- Which programs of
study are you considering?
- How far from home
are you willing to travel?
- Do you wish to
participate in specific extracurricular activities or athletics?
- Do you want to
attend a school located 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 Naviance via the Internet in the guidance office,
media center, computer lab, or your home.
- 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 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 and/or an interview!
AT THE FAIR…
- Bring a bag with
you to store college information and pick up a fair directory at the door
to the Red Gym.
- Visit with
colleges and universities that meet your criteria.
- Talk with a
representative at the Information Table if you have any questions or need
help with your college search.
QUESTIONS TO ASK COLLEGE REPRESENTATIVES…
- How can I arrange
a campus visit? Are there any special college visitation days?
- What are the
application deadlines for admission and financial aid?
- How are faculty
advisors assigned to students, especially those who are undecided about
their major?
- What percent of
students are commuters?
- When must I select
a major?
- What
extracurricular activities are offered on your campus?
- How accessible are
the professors outside of class time?
- How are roommates
selected?
- What measures does
the college take to keep students safe on campus?
- What additional
academic services do you offer to students (tutoring, career counseling,
study skills workshops)?
- What types of
internship/co-op experiences are available?
QUESTIONS TO ASK COLLEGE REPRESENTATIVES REGARDING DISABILITIES AND
ACCOMMODATIONS
- Are there
specialized programs available?
- Are there special
admissions procedures?
- Which standardized
tests are required?
- What types of
documentation are needed to request accommodations?
- Should testing
and/or an IEP be sent with my application when applying or after a
decision has been made
- What types of
accommodations (note-takers, tape recorders in class, etc.) are allowed?
- Are there extra
fees for learning disability related services? If so, what is the
approximate cost?
Still have questions?
Please feel free to speak with your guidance counselor about any
college-related questions.
Enjoy The Fair!!
