Chicago Public Schools Competitive College Fair

I am reaching out to invite your institution to participate in the 3rd annual Chicago Public Schools Competitive College Fair on Wednesday, April 8 at the University of Chicago from 9:30am to 1:00pm. This event brings together selective colleges and universities from around the country with 400 of the top 11th graders from across the city. The intention of the initiative is to help prepare high performing students, many of whom will be first generation college students, for the selective admissions process by expanding their awareness about their postsecondary options and ensuring they understand how to position themselves as competitive applicants. 

While we certainly encourage admissions representatives be present, we also welcome current students, faculty, and alumni as institutional representatives. We very much understand that this is a busy time of the year for recruiters! Finally, please note that Strive Scan will be available and lunch will be provided to all representatives.
