District 211 holds College Night in Palatine

Admission representatives from colleges around the country will be gathered in one place to provide information about their admissions process and answer questions about programs, student life, and financial aid.

The 2016-2017 District 211 College Night program will be held Wednesday, Oct. 19, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) at Palatine High School, 1111 N. Rohlwing Road in Palatine. The event is open to all Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 students and their parents.

For students and parents unable to visit a college campus, College Night is the perfect opportunity to meet with the college representatives who will be reading their applications. More than 200 representatives from two- and four-year colleges and military academies will provide curriculum and campus information.

Before the event, students are encouraged to create a label sheet with identifying information on it such as name, home address, high school, GPA, ACT score, sports and activities, and more.

In use this year will be StriveScan, an app that allows colleges to scan a bar code containing student information. The app also sends an email to the student with information about the college, saving time and providing easy access to important information.

Parking at Palatine High School is limited. For more information about the College Night or other resources, contact your school's college and career counselor.
