College Representatives Meet with Students Here at WHS
Representatives from a variety of college admission offices are scheduled to come right here to Wolcott High School. During their visits, reps meet with interested students in small groups to discuss topics such as the academic programs, campus life, financial aid and admission procedures of their college. They also answer students' questions.
With so much information already available on college websites and in catalogs, you may wonder why you should attend these in-person sessions. Below are five reasons to encourage students to meet with the college reps.
1. Students have a chance — in their own town — to meet face-to-face with a rep and ask specific questions.
2. Students can let the college know they are seriously interested.
3. In many cases, the reps are admission officers from the college, so students have a unique opportunity to make contact with a person who may be evaluating their application in the future.
4. The meeting provides students with a specific contact at the college to whom they can send questions.
5. Sometimes reps, particularly ones from state universities, will give an early read on students' transcripts, test scores and course selections during their visits. This helps students assess their fit at that institution and figure out what they can do to improve their chances of getting in.
Below is the current list of colleges scheduled to meet with our students right here at Wolcott High School in the School Counseling Career Center. College visits are in the students’ Naviance account. If a student is interested in meeting with a college rep they should sign up in Naviance (colleges, colleges I’m thinking about, college visits, register) and stop by School Counseling/Career center for a pass. College visits will also be in the daily announcements and on the bulletin board right outside of School Counseling.
