Step 1:

​

STRIVESCAN- register before the event!

You will be using StriveScan on your phone to give your information to schools, so please make sure you have your cell phone and a charger for the day.

 

 

 

 

​

Step 2:

​

Each school will be giving a 15 min presentation about their school. You must stay for each 45 min section which will allow you to see 3 schools at a time or we have 2 special sessions (indicated by an *).

​

​

​

 

 

 

Step 3:

​

Each student attending will have to go to AT LEAST 2 Sessions (each session is 45 min and will either be 3 college presentations or a special session*). Each student MUST sign up below for 3 sessions during the day (because the 3rd session will be your back up in case one of your preferred sessions gets filled. Seniors get first dibs on sessions). We will do our best to give you your preferred sessions, but it is not a guarantee.​
