Congratulations! Seniors are in the final stretch of hearing back from colleges, which means selecting where to attend is right around the corner! Before you submit your deposit and attend orientation at your selected college, you can attend Admitted Students Day. But what is it, and how can it help?

What Is It?

Admitted (Accepted) Students Day is a designated day for all admitted students to visit campus and celebrate their acceptance in a new way before making their final decision. Students will have the opportunity to:

• Meet with staff and faculty and ask questions 
• Learn more about programs and academic opportunities 
• Enjoy customized sessions and hear more about Orientation  
• Take a campus tour
• Meet other admitted students 
• Eat in the dining halls 
• Gauge more about life on campus 
• Attend financial aid sessions 

Why Attend?

So, how can attending be helpful? 

• Whether it’s taking another tour (or your first) around campus or further evaluating the department for your intended major, this is your final opportunity to gather everything you need to make your final selection. 
• Learn more about housing options, extracurricular opportunities, academic programs and academic support offerings.
• Since you have already done your research as a prospective student, now, as an admitted student, you can ask more targeted questions. The more comfortable you are with the college, the smoother the transition in the Fall! 

What to Focus On?

Colleges do a fantastic job of facilitating a fun-filled day for their admitted students!  Some things you should be considering:

• Think about any remaining questions you still might have. Do you know all the housing options? What about meal plans? What are the academic support services offered on campus? Do your professors have office hours? 
• Campus life. You have been so involved throughout high school. What would you like to continue in college? Have you explored clubs? What about student and athletic facilities? What food options do you have both on and off campus? 

Now it’s your turn to be in the driver’s seat, to be as informed as you can when evaluating your options. We at Campus Bound know all the hard work you have poured into your college process over the last several months. We also understand how difficult it can be to make your final college decision. Your Campus Bound counselor is here to help you navigate this last, very exciting step!
