CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO: Choosing a College That Fits.
College admissions representatives review seven criteria students should consider and rank when trying to find their “right fit” colleges.
Use the following resources to do a college search:
Visit college campuses to narrow down the following:
Determine how far from home you’d be willing to attend college, which parts of the country interest you, etc.
Determine the size of the college that most appeals to you.
Determine the location of the college that most appeals to you (e.g. in a city or in more of a rural setting or college town).
Schedule a campus visit by visiting the admissions webpage of the college at least a few weeks in advance.
School days off, spring break and even Saturdays can be great days to schedule campus visits.
Many colleges offer virtual visits.
College Admission Rep Visits to the RMHS PSC
Many college admission representatives visit the PSC in the fall and spring. These are a great way for students to find out more about a college, get questions answered and get to know the college rep assigned to Rolling Meadows.
