Did you know that visiting a college is termed “demonstrated interest” by schools and is one of the admissions criteria used to determine an applicant’s acceptance? In fact, “demonstrated interest” is one piece of the admissions puzzle that can give a student up to a 40% chance of being admitted over other applicants.

 

The college admissions process is a tricky one to navigate. Give yourself the best opportunity to succeed by joining us on this two-day trip to Virginia & Washington DC, where we’ll visit the campus of George Washington University, American University and George Mason University.

 

In addition to this incredible experience, A-1 Tours offers an EXCLUSIVE partnership with University Seekers. University Seekers is a college preparatory service led by a local college admissions expert. With their guidance they market your personal profile to your dream schools. They stay in touch with the admissions departments to ensure your application is highlighted, giving you a leg up on the competition.

Again, guests will do the information session along as well as a campus walk getting a real feel for how life on campus and in DC may be. Upon conclusion of the visit to American University we are done with the hard work – for today at least… In the late afternoon we will enjoy a dinner together and as dusk set in, we’ll embark on an evening tour of the National Mall. The tour will teach us about past presidents and significant leaders politically and historically. We’ll see the monuments   beautifully lit and there will be opportunities to get some cool pictures to share with family, friends, and of course on social media.
