CAMPUS VISIT OPPORTUNITIES
One thing all college reps agree on is the importance of
visiting each college campus before deciding where you will
attend. Just as each student is an individual and has a distinct
personality, each college does too. Often the campus visit
illustrates that personality better than any other contact with
this school. All institutions have a variety of visitation
programs. Most provide interviews with an admission rep and
guided tours of the campus on weekdays and often on Saturdays.
Additionally, there are large and small group tours. There are
many fall campus visitation days just for high school students
and their parents and many schools “show off” their programs on
homecoming weekend. Please check with the individual school or
in the Guidance Office to see if there are special visitation
days.
Liberty Union allows three days for
college visits with pre-approval.
REQUEST FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Please ask someone you feel can write you a good recommendation.
Also ask someone who has a good knowledge of you and can
highlight some of your positive qualities and characteristics.
Whenever you ask someone to write a recommendation for you,
remember you are asking them to do you a favor – To take their
time to do something extra for you. Please be courteous enough
to provide them with a self-addressed, stamped, envelope and
enough time to do a good job and not feel pressured to hurry and
get it written.
It is vitally important that you
always check deadline dates for scholarship and financial
information. If you miss the deadline then you will miss out! If
you are not an organized person, plan to start to be one this
year.
It is important to understand that
the competition is very keen for scholarships. The scholarship
committees can afford to be very selective when the applicant
pool is large. Always give yourself the best shot by completing
applications neatly (typewritten is best) and thoroughly. GPA’s
and class rank, as well as ACT/SAT scores are usually very
important criteria. If an essay or other written response is
needed, write a rough draft, check it out with your English
teacher, and then make needed corrections before submitting your
application.
FINANCIAL AID
The Financial Aid Form, which parents submit to apply for
Federal and State money, will be available in late November or
early December. This paper or on-line form cannot be sent in
until after January 1, 2008. (After W2 forms have been
completed.)
