Connect with colleges
DEMONSTRATE INTEREST
Colleges are keeping tabs on you! They want to know just how interested you are in their college. There are lots of different ways you can connect with colleges to demonstrate interest. Nothing beats visiting a campus for an official tour and meeting with a rep for an information session. However, if you are not be able to visit a college campus in person, there are still plenty of ways to connect with college admission counselors and demonstrate just how interested you are in their school. Most colleges are offering virtual events - from information sessions to open houses. Join in on these! Get to know the admissions counselor for New Jersey and start making a connection. Ask questions, share information and find out all you can about the college and the admissions process.

StriveScan offers two different program formats:
1. Virtual College Exploration
A multi-week program with dozens of panel presentations on college knowledge topics or affinity groups of colleges, as well as individual college information sessions.
Similar to an in-person fair, hosted over a three-hour period, this format consists of six colleges each presenting for six minutes.
TBA
Hosted by the United States Army Cadet Command. This event will bring over 100 Universities to students across our country in a safe and virtual environment. Students will have the ability to move around virtual tables to talk to the University Army ROTC programs, advisors, and current students at the Universities.
INTERVIEW TIPS
Few schools require interviews, but if offered the opportunity we highly recommend taking advantage of this one-on-one meeting.
Usually conducted by alumni or admission counselors.
Be sure to be prepared with questions that cannot be easily answered on the website.
Thank the interviewer - both during the interview and after via email.
Demonstrated interest is important!
