<p>What if someone comes to you and doesn’t know anything about college? This person only knows that college is the next step after high school.</p>
<p>This person is not stupid or naive (so it’s not like you’re talking to a toddler). This person is totally culturally aware (so this person will understand what “hippie school” means and will understand allusions to ninteenth-century British literature). This person IS, however, GULLIBLE. He/she will believe ANTYHING you say about college.</p>
<p>You are given ONE POST to explain to this person:</p>
<li><p>What the application process is like- from the basics (what it means to “apply to a school”) to what colleges look for in an applicant, to what this person should do to become a good applicant</p></li>
<li><p>An overview of the college experience- for example: what you can learn, what is a major, explanations of certain majors, dorm life, etc.</p></li>
<li><p>An overview of the American college spectrum- for example, what schools are best, how to choose a school, certain types/categorizations of schools</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Just thought it would be an interesting exercise. Good luck to all.</p>
