CECP College Admissions and Fair Event

ROAR Case Study and Mini College Fair

September 13th, 2022

6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Colorado Early Colleges – Parker

10235 Parkglenn Way, Parker, CO 80138

Join us for a case study with college admission officers from ROAR followed by a mini college fair where there will be representatives from in-state and out-of-state colleges. Both parents and students are encouraged to attend this event! Please RSVP using the link below: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b054eaaae2fabfa7-admissions

What is a case study?

A case study is designed to put students and families in the admissions counselor's role and review three fictitious applications. College admission officers will guide participants through the various parts of an application and lead discussions about each applicant's materials, merits, and essay. Participants will then determine which of the three students are admissible.

What is ROAR?

ROAR is an organization comprised of out-of-state institution's local admission representatives.

What universities will be participating in the mini college fair?

Even though the case study is sponsored by ROAR representatives, there will be admission officers from in-state schools (CSU, CU Boulder, MSU, etc.) attending the mini college fair to answer any questions you have about the college admissions process.

Questions about this event?

If you have questions about this event, please contact brooke.nordgren@coloradoearlycolleges.org (CECP advising team).
