It's that time of year again. Days get shorter, leaves change color, school gets harder, and colleges come to town. On October 26th and 27th, the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) will be in Portland at the Oregon Convention Center. This is a free event, open to all high school students and their parents. Before you go, check out the list of colleges coming to Portland and register online so that you don't have to fill out a card at every table you stop at.
Freshmen: This is totally optional for you. If college isn't even on your radar, don't worry about it. If you're already super on top of things, go for it!
Sophomores: You might want to think about attending this college fair. It's a great way to get more information on colleges you've already heard about and to learn about some schools you've never heard of.
Juniors: You should definitely go if you can. Before going, look at the schools who will be there and make a list of 20 or so that you might be interested in. While you're there, also feel free to visit schools that are new to you or that sound interesting.
Seniors: If you're still figuring out where you want to apply or if you're unsure about a school, this is a great way to learn more. Also keep in mind that visiting a college's booth and chatting with the admissions rep there is a way of showing "demonstrated interest"!
Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors - don't fret it you absolutely can't make it to this college fair! NACAC comes back every spring so you'll have another chance to go later this year.
