Hotchkiss Fall_Winter Athletic Dinner
The College Corner

One of the key goals of the Hotchkiss College Advising Office is to provide students with the necessary tools to conduct thorough research into colleges. Throughout this process, we ask students to reflect and reevaluate in order to refine their search criteria. And while college reference tools and online resources are extremely useful, the office also believes that it is important for students to be able to have face-to-face interactions with college admissions officers. On Tuesday, April 20, more than 100 college admissions representatives will participate in a virtual college fair sponsored in conjunction with Salisbury School.
 
Attendance at the college fair is mandatory for upper mids. We encourage students to use this opportunity to supplement their college research by speaking directly with admissions representatives. Chatting with admissions officers and asking them questions is not only good practice, but may also help students identify the criteria that are important to them in selecting a college.
