virtual college selection

virtual college selection

Not encroached upon.

Among the many-the college selection experience.

For high school students who were still making up their minds....they will have to firm up the decision....on a computer screen.

Newschannel 2's joleen ferris reports.

None 4:44 "the coronavirus pandemic could make things challenging for high school juniors who were planning those college visits and even seniors who had not yet narrowed down their final choices, but luckily, colleges are stepping up to the virtual plate" :14 "for seniors, really they should have already visited their colleges by now so at this point, they're just narrowing it down between their top two and three colleges and that's where they would like to go and visit, sit in on the class.

Unfortunately, they're not able to do that" prevented by an invisible pathogen from visiting campus.....siting on the benches....checking out the student centers and coffee shops....students must attend open houses....acceptanc e dinners and mixers....from their own homes....and colleges like uc are doing what they can to make it as authentic as possible 1:07 "including virtual tours, virtual open houses, which we have one tonight for accepted students, doing all of those things is going to help familles make those important decisions" and don't worry- you still get the swag 2:45 "from my home we mailed 187 t shirts out to accepted students today who attended the first virtual event so we are trying to do evverything we can to replicate the experiences to the best of our ability" and then there's the matter of national deposit day.

May first-when students and parents, many of whom might now be unemployed, have to put down the commitment cash to attend their school of choice.

U.c.

Is among those extending that deadline.

:28 "we are really proud that we were one of the first 50 colleges around the country to extend the may 1st national deposit deadline to june 1st and we did that because we understand that families really need to make an informed decision.
