DOES VISITING A COLLEGE HELP YOU GET IN?
Applicants who show interest, such as through a visit, are more valued than ones who don’t. Many colleges factor demonstrated interest into the admissions decisions because they want to admit applicants who will enroll to help with their “yield” numbers. What does yield mean?

THURS, JUNE 3, 5-6pm on ZOOM.
COLLEGE ADMISSIONS AND FINANCIAL AID: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Topics include college search, the application process, college essay, SAT vs. the ACT, how college choice will affect your bottom line, college sticker prices and what they really mean, real-life example of a family’s financial aid picture, and how this affects the decision they make, making the final choice.
DO COLLEGE RECOMMENDATION LETTERS HAVE TO BE FROM TEACHERS?
Ideally, your first two college recommendation letters should be from teachers. The third letter could be from someone other than a teacher, such as a dance instructor, piano teacher or scout leader.
Visit the Signature College Counseling website for photos and notes from my personal visits to numerous institutions of higher education, from small/private colleges to mega/state universities, across the USA and beyond. You'll find interesting stats, factoids, and photos too.
