| I have a question about the NACAC College Fair. The fair in my State is from 9:am-12pm then from 6pm-9pm. Does that mean you only have a 3 hour window of opportunity to chat with reps? What happens at these fairs between say 12pm and 6pm? |

| Usually the representatives rest, eat meals, and get to know one another during the breaks between public sessions at college fairs. After talking to hundreds of students and some number of parents for a few hours, a lot of people need a break. In a few cases, the representatives may be having meetings with school counselors or other kinds of school meetings while in town and not at a public college fair general session. | |

| Let's Discuss Questions to Ask at Info Sessions
Last year a "hot" question to ask at spring information sessions of various colleges is how the college treats applications submitted with more than one set of test scores. Does the college "superscore," or does it take the best single-sitting test score, or do something else?
This year one hot question seems to be whether a college cares or not about where else you are applying. What is the implication of NOT saying where else you are applying? What is the implication of saying, and mentioning more selective colleges (or less selective colleges) as part of your list?
Another hot question this year is whether it really makes a difference how a student self-identifies as to ethnic category when applying to college, and whether it is possible to totally leave off information about ethnic category without consequence for admission.
Those are some questions I'm seeing coming up in quite a few threads. What hot questions do you see this year on CC that would be good to ask college admission officers at regional information sessions? | |

| I thought of another question to ask.
One question to ask at admission information sessions might be the frequently asked question, does it look bad to self-report "low" AP test scores (say a score of 3, 2, or 1)? My guess is that self-reporting any AP test score looks better than not taking the test at all, but this is something we could all ask about. | |
