College Search 101 for Vassar Families

Offered annually in the fall by the Office of Advancement in association with the Office of Admission, College Search 101 is designed to familiarize Vassar alum families and their high school juniors with the college admission process. This program provides valuable, general information to your family as your college search process begins.

Overview

Here are some of the program highlights registered participants may expect during the session:

Hear from Vassar College admissions professionals who will share advice about navigating the college search process, and how to evaluate schools that are right for you.
Attend valuable information sessions on financial aid and College athletics.
Meet current Vassar students for an open discussion about College life (for high school juniors only).

Please note: this program provides a broad overview into the college search process from an insider’s perspective. It is not about admission to Vassar; the program is neither a feeder program nor does participation influence admission decisions at the College.
