Hart's Helpful Hint - Prepping for College Fairs

The City of Riverside has partnered with Steph Hart of Essential Elements: Comprehensive College Planning to present a FREE college prep series for high school students and their parents.  Our first session was on Sunday, August 21 and provided an introduction into the college search.  After each session, Steph will provide a "Hart's Helpful Hint" with additional details about preparing for college!


Hart's Helpful Hint #1

Are you attending an upcoming college fair? Here is my favorite tip:

Prepare large mailing labels in advance.

For each school that interests you, simply pick up the contact/inquiry card and place a label on it. This ensures that the admission representative can determine correct information for data entry. It also saves a lot of writing and time at each college/university’s table that you visit. Furthermore, a having a pre-printed sticker allows you to spend time speaking with the admission representative rather than simply standing in front of him/her filling out an inquiry card.

Each sticker should note the following:

• First and Last Name
• Mailing Address
• Home Phone (or cell phone if no home number)
• Email Address
• Birthdate
• High School, Class of 20__
• Current Cumulative GPA
• Current Class Rank
• Highest ACT Composite (if available)

This will make any college fair a much more enjoyable and effective experience!
