On-Campus Opportunities

College admissions officer visits to the Paly campus are listed below. Students don't need to make an appointment to attend these visits, but when a presentation conflicts with a class, they must obtain permission at least one day in advance from their teacher whose class they will miss. Students can pick up the necessary form in the C&CC or print the permission form from the web site. Have a C&CC officer sign the form at the meeting and it will serve as your admit to class. All visits take place in the C&CC unless noted otherwise.

Visits with college representatives are a great way for students to get questions answered and to establish relationships with regional admissions officers (or staff of higher status!) who are often responsible for reading/advocating for our students' applications. Some colleges track students "demonstrated interest", so attending a visit could be beneficial. Of course, it's not always feasible for students to miss class to meet with college representatives. If students can't meet with the reps of colleges they are especially interested in, they are encouraged to leave a note with a college advisor to pass on to the reps.
