National College Fair
Representatives from approximately 350 colleges and universities will participate in the New York City National College Fair which will be held on Sunday, March 10 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. The College Fair is sponsored by the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC).
This event is free and open to all area students and parents. College representatives from thirty-four states and several foreign countries will be on hand to answer questions and offer information. Students are encouraged to register ahead of time to make their College Fair visit more efficient.
The College Fair is a timesaving opportunity for students and parents to gather a lot of information at one time. In addition to asking questions, students and parents will be able to set up college interviews, pick up literature and learn about the various financial aid programs available.
Before you arrive at the College Fair, check the list of participating colleges and schools found below and select the ones that most interest you. If you have time, research these colleges by reading information in your counseling office or by checking out guidebooks or websites. Write up a short list of questions to ask admission representatives. To compare several schools, plan on asking the same questions at each table.
