The All Access Admissions Fair Was A Hit!

“Our college is (and I noticed several other schools in attendance were) probably not a “household name” among families in SF, so I was impressed by the way in which students engaged in a thoughtful investigation of these unfamiliar schools.  I suspect that one of the goals of the program was to give students an opportunity to learn about these far away, unfamiliar places, rather than more “air time” to the most familiar schools.  It worked!”

“We met a number of students who really stood out…even the freshman were polite and engaged, which of course was great!”

Thank you so much for putting together the All Access Admissions Event today! It was great to talk to representatives from some of my prospective colleges. I feel that I have an even better idea of my passions and desired colleges now.”

“I’ve pretty much talked to everyone!”
