ARTICLE  |   Survey of College Counselors Reveals Best Practices for College Tours

11/16/2016

 
Inspiring students to consider and work towards going to college requires their counselors to draw on a number of techniques, technologies, tools and programs like college tours.  Many counselors report that tours can often be the catalyst or tipping point for a child who could go either way.  But taking students on tours demands both time and money, things that are typically (well, always!) in limited supply among counselors and school systems. 

As admissions officers, how to work toward making campus visits easier, more cost-efficient and more valuable to students? In seeking answers to these challenges, a 2016  College Tour Survey was distributed to nearly 2,400 high school counselors throughout the country (most of whom are affiliated with GEAR UP, TRIO, and AVID programs).

​Part 2: Essential Information for "Road Warriors": Helping Admission Staff Talk with Students and Families about the 2017-2018 FAFSA (Registration required [free])
Admission recruiters are often the first point of contact with families regarding the financial aid process. The 2017 – 2018 FAFSA will be available in October 2016 and recent changes (Prior-Prior Year / Early FAFSA) have created questions and concerns.
