[quote=Anonymous]What grade is your DC in? I'm assuming they are just beginning their college search. If so, there is a college fair at American University every spring that it intended for 11th graders. I'm sure other grades may attend, but the schools tend to only tell the 11th graders in order to keep the numbers down. If your DC attends an independent school I'm sure the school will tell you about it.

If you go my advice is to go early and move quickly because it gets very crowded. They indicate to go according to your last name (i.e. anyone with a last name beginning with "Z" is screwed if they follow the rule because no one else does...). You will be able to speak with an admissions rep, but remember they are speaking with so many students that night there is little chance they will remember your child. It also gets so crowded that you can see the admissions reps' eyes glazing over. So, if your DC only wants to get information about a school then it's fine. However, if you're thinking that it could be a way to show "demonstrated interest" it's not really the place for that.

Good luck with the search process![/quote]
