*HOW TO PREPARE FOR A VIRTUAL COLLEGE FAIR:*

1. Register for a fair in advance.  Look at the participating schools for
each fair date.

2. Check out if there are presentations or workshops on specific topics.

3. Explore your list of colleges. Try to plan for the school visits so you
will not be overwhelmed with the large number of schools in attendance.

4. Have some questions ready that would not be easy questions answered from
the college website.

5. Get names and emails of the representatives.

6. After the visit, send an e-mail to the college rep to thank them for
their time and to express your interest in the school; get on the college
mailing list for future news and events.

*COLLEGE SEARCH SITES: *Think of the most important factors for you
covering Academics, Social Life ('home away from home"), and Financial
Affordability & Debt.
