Perspectives 8 Tips for Attending College Fairs Source: Vanderbilt University Admissions Web Page 1. Visit at last three schools you’ve never heard of. You’re there to gather information, so gather as much as you can. 2. Don’t ask “how good is the (fill in the blank) major?” The answer you’ll probably get is, “great!” will that really help you learn abut this school? 3. Make sure to read the table banner! Usually, the location and type of institution (university, college, or state university) is prominently displayer. 4. Don’t ask for the representative to evaluate your chances based upon the quantitative information you’ll be submitting to colleges. Most schools won’t be able to answer this question as many schools practice holistic admission. 5. Print a sheet of sticky labels that have your contact information on them in order to expedite the information card process. 6. Stay engaged while you are interacting with college representatives. 7. Don’t assume that the person standing behind the college fair table is an alumnus of the institution. 8. If you are attending a college fair with your parents, use this as an opportunity to drive your own college search process. While it is absolutely acceptable and even expected for parents to ask questions, you should introduce yourself and always try to ask the first question. STEM Employment in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) – related careers is expected to increase by 13 percent through 2012 to 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, or faster than the average for all careers. One million new STEM jobs are expected during this time span. It’s an exciting time to work in careers whether you’re designing state-of-the-art medical technology, using algorithms and financial software to predict financial market outcomes, solving engineering challenges as you build a road through a mountain range, studying the San Cristobal mockingbird and other endangered species in the Galapagos Islands, or working in a variety of other professions. The CI Newsletter will be presenting a number of focused articles in forthcoming issues.
