3 Campus Visit Checklist Visiting a college campus helps you get a sense of what a college and life at that college is like. This can help you decide whether the college is right for you. When planning your campus visits, make sure to allow time to explore each college. While you re there, talk to as many people as possible. These can include college admission staff, professors and students. Below are some other things you can do while visiting. Note that some activities, such as meeting with an admission officer or staying overnight in a dorm, might need to be set up in advance. Gather Information Find out what you need to do to apply and see if the college s class and major offerings are what you want: Take part in a group information session at the admission office. Interview with an admission officer. Pick up financial aid forms. Sit in on a class that interests you. If classes aren t in session, just see what the classrooms are like.

Explore the Campus Get a feel for student life and see if this college is a place where you will do well: Take a campus tour. Talk to current students about life on campus and the college.

Talk to the coaches of sports that you may want to play. Walk or drive around the community surrounding the campus.

Go to the career center and learn what services it offers. Browse the school s website and any campus blogs.

Why did you choose this college? What is it like to live here?

5 FAIRVIEW HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR DATA SHEET Please complete all sections of the form to the best of your knowledge and ability. The information you provide will allow us to write a personalized, effective letter of recommendation for you. If you do not have enough room, please attach extra sheets. Return the completed form to your counselor. 1. Full Name: 2. Student cell phone #: 3. What college major are you interested in and why? 4. Please list your top three college choices: I. II. III. 5. Extracurricular Activities (excluding sports): Activity or Club Grade(s) You Leadership Honors or Awards Describe your activities 1. Participated

6 FAIRVIEW HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR DATA SHEET 6. School Related Sports Participation: Sport Grade(s) You JV or Varsity Do you plan to Have you Honors Received Participated college? Y or N house? Y or N pursue this applied to sport in NCAA Clearing- 7. List any employment: Job Title Employer Duties Performed Dates of Employment This next section will require some thought. Please be as descriptive as possible. 8. What 3 words best describe you? 9. What are your greatest strengths both academically and personally? Please list specific examples. State why you think these will help you be successful in college. 10. Are there any special circumstances that could account for a change in grades or test scores? For ex- ample, was there a reason your GPA dropped one year as opposed to others? 11. Please discuss any educational opportunities you have participated in that directly relate to your in- tended major. (Examples: internships, study abroad, conferences, special summer programs, etc.) 12. College admissions counselors read thousands of applications. What do you want a college admissions or scholarship representative to know about you that makes you stand out from the crowd?

7 Personal statement Your personal statement should be exactly that personal. This is your opportunity to tell us about yourself your hopes, ambitions, life experiences, inspirations. We encourage you to take your time on this assignment. Be open. Be reflective. Find your individual voice and express it honestly. As you respond to the essay prompts, think about the admissions and scholarship officers who will read your statement and what you want them to understand about you. While your personal statement is only one of many factors we consider when making our admission decision, it helps provide context for the rest of your application. Directions All applicants must respond to two essay prompts the general prompt and either the freshman or transfer prompt, depending on your status. Responses to your two prompts must be a maximum of 1,000 words total. Allocate the word count as you wish. If you choose to respond to one prompt at greater length, we suggest your shorter answer be no less than 250 words. The essay prompts Freshman applicant prompt Describe the world you come from for example, your family, community or school and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations. Transfer applicant prompt What is your intended major? Discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any experience you have had in the field such as volunteer work, internships and employment, participation in student organizations and activities and what you have gained from your involvement. Prompt for all applicants Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you. What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate to the person you are? Tips and techniques Start early. Allow time for reflection, thoughtful preparation and revision. Choose a topic for both essays.

8 Look critically at the information in your application: your grades, awards, activities and work experience, family and income. Anticipate questions an admissions evaluator will have after reading your application. The personal statement is your opportunity to answer those questions. Compose your personal statement in a word-processing program. Don't type it directly into the application. This way, you will have the opportunity to print copies for review. Write persuasively. Present your information and ideas in a focused, deliberate and meaningful manner. Provide specific, concrete examples to support your point. A personal statement that is simply a list of qualities or accomplishments usually is not persuasive. Proofread. In addition to checking your spelling, be sure your grammar is correct and your essays flow smoothly. Solicit feedback. Your personal statement should reflect your own ideas and be written by you alone, but others family, teachers and friends can offer valuable suggestions. Ask advice of whomever you like, but do not plagiarize from sources in print or online and do not use anyone's published words but your own.

9 Volunteering, Job Shadowing or Audit of a College Course I,, intend to: Volunteer for 8 hours Audit a college course Job shadow With who? (Supervisor) Where? (Institution) Date?
