On Thursday, November 13, 2014, AVID students from Memorial
and the Senior High School attended a National College Fair hosted by the
National Association for College Admission Counseling at the Atlantic City
Convention Center. Representatives from
approximately 250 two-year and four-year colleges, nursing schools, business
schools and trade schools participated in the event. College admissions representatives were also
on hand to answer questions ranging from acceptance policies to student-faculty
ratio. The students were also required
to attend at least one workshop offered while visiting the event. Topics ranged from “playing athletics at the
collegiate level” to “writing your application essay”. Overall, the event was a tremendous
experience for our students.
