Columbus Suburban College Fair

For students who are just starting the process to begin thinking about where they might want to apply to college in the future, college fairs can provide the perfect opportunity to interact with a large number of college admissions officers all in one setting.  Granted, this will just be a quick snapshot, but it is a great chance for 9th - 11th graders to begin the process of thinking about what you are seeking in a college and identifying schools which might be a good fit for what you're hoping to find.  (And it is a great way to expand your horizons well beyond the awareness of the most common colleges you have heard your siblings or friends talk about.)

The Columbus Suburban College Fair is one week from today - Sunday, October 13th from 1:00 - 3:30pm at Westerville Central High School.  This is the largest, local fall college fair and a great opportunity for our students.

One important thing for students and parents to know is that we now ask all students to pre-register with your information prior to the college fair.  I promise you, this proces will save you a ton of time at the actual college fair when you don't have to repeatedly write out all of your information for every single college that you are interested in getting more information from - instead you will just be able to text your personal code to them and they will automatically receive your information.

The way you will pre-register is to:
1. Text MASCOT to 75644
2. There will be a reply text.  Complete the student profile at the link provided in the reply text ONE time.

Then, at the college fair, each college will have a 4 digit code and you will text their code to 75644 if you are interested in their college.
