Did you know that visiting a college is termed demonstrated interest by schools and is one of the admissions criteria used to determine an applicants 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 day trip to Washinton DC to explore Howard University and learn some about the African American history and culture in the DC area.
