1. Bring an inquisitive mind
Ask questions. There's nothing an admissions officer hates more than talking to students who are not engaged and act like they don't care they are on campus. 2. Do your research! Again, ask questions and ask lots of them! But, don't ask questions that you can find on the College website. (i.e. Do you have a psychology major?) Do your research! 3. Talk to Strangers! Walk into whatever serves as the campus hub (this may be the student center, quad or dining hall) and stop a random student to ask his thoughts about the college. These unfiltered encounters often shed light on the campus culture. 4. Read the Paper! Pick up a copy of the student newspaper while you're on campus. It generally offers an uncensored take on the issues facing students and the college as a whole. 5. Remember to Say Thank You! A follow-up thank you note to your host is always a good idea. (An email is appropriate, but remember to keep a formal tone throughout your note and in all communication with the admissions office - do not use shorthand or text language.) Be sure to articulate specific aspects of the college and your visit that you appreciated. Source: Make the Most of a College Visit |
