College Rep Visits & COLLEGE SEARCH TOOL
Representatives from many universities and colleges visit San Luis Obispo High School. Attending a college presentation is an excellent way to not only get to know the college or university but in many instances, also a tremendous opportunity to get to know the admission representative who will be the first admissions member to review your application. For this reason, students planning to attend a college presentation should prepare for the meeting by doing research on the college before the presentation and bringing a couple of thoughtful questions to the presentation. Making a positive impression during the presentation can go a long way.
