Each fall, college representatives come to TA to talk with students and share an inside look at their school's academics, campus life, and application process. These visits are a great opportunity for students to make an initial in-person contact with a school, gauge their "fit" with the school's profile, and dive more deeply into the school's admissions process. Attending a college representative's event is also an important way for students to demonstrate interest in a specific school, which can support their application later on.
