College Fair Night at Queen's Grant High School

Queen's Grant High School will hold its first ever College Fair Night.  The fair will be held on Thursday, October 20, 2011 from 6:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.  You may come anytime during that time.  It is a drop-in, booth style college fair.  At your arrival, you will receive a map of which classroom each representative will be in so that you may plan out your visits.

Also, please dress appropriately because these are the college/university representatives that may very well be reading your admissions application.  Be polite, introduce yourself, shake their hand and have eye contact with them.  To speed along your visits with the individual representatives, you may want to type up and print out adhesive labels with your information on them to stick on the information cards that they will ask you to fill out.

Things to include on your adhesive labels could include:
1. Full name
2. Home address
3. Phone number
4. Appropriate email address
5. Graduation date
6. Potential major
7. If you want to play a college sport
8. Your weighted and unweighted GPAs
9. SAT and/or ACT score(s) or when you plan to take them next

You will probably need to type in a fairly small font size.  Make sure that your home printer will print on the type of labels you buy.  Label sheets usually come with about 20 to 30 labels per sheet.

These are the scheduled participants for the fair:
1. U. S. Coast Guard
2. Carolinas College of Health Science
3. Synergy Alliance of Financial Education
4. Lenoir-Rhyne University
5. Wingate University
6. Universal Technical Institute
7. Johnson & Wales University
8. UNC-Pembroke
9. Gardner-Webb University
10. ECPI
11. Queens University of Charlotte
12. UNC-Charlotte
13. Catawba College
14. Central Piedmont Community College
15. East Carolina University
16. Civil Air Patrol
17. Johnson C. Smith University
18. Fort Hays State University
19. U.S. Army

Thank you to all of these participants for taking their time to be present for the QGHS College Fair Night!

I am excited about the college fair, but I'm not a senior yet. Can I still come and should I still follow those steps listed?
