What to Do at a Virtual College Fair

If you’re a rising junior or senior, you’re probably starting to think about building and finalizing your college list. At this point, you may be wondering, “what do I do at a college fair?” or even asking yourself, “how do I network at a virtual college fair?” – and while this is unprecedented territory for all of us, luck for you, the experts know what to do.

The usual scene involves a large auditorium, with tables, banners, and sign-up sheets galore…

Here are a few helpful tips that can help you get useful information out of a virtual college fair.
  1. Firstly, make sure you prepare your materials in advance.
  2. Also, make sure you check out the software required so you aren’t stuck on the day of the fair.
  3. Next, scope out the list of attending schools and prioritize who you definitely want to talk to.
  4. In fact, talk to random schools that aren’t on your immediate list as well.
  5. Ask questions that you can’t find online or in other places. In other words, take advantage of having college representatives right in front of you!
  6. Also, remember to be patient with others (and technology), and well-prepared on your part.
  7. Finally, follow-up with emails, LinkedIn connections (if appropriate).
