August in the Admissions Office!

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted something. Things are beginning to get really hectic in our office and all the admissions counselors are scrambling to plan their travel. I can't believe most schools start next week!

My territory changed this fall, and I'm excited to be visiting schools in the Lehigh Valley! (I'm originally from Bethlehem so I'm really psyched!) There are so many things we consider when visiting a particular area, however, we rely heavily on the schools that have had contact with us in the past. I just looked at my inquiry report for my region and my top 5 schools are Reading HS, Parkland HS, Freedom HS, Liberty HS and North Penn HS. I really enjoy going to high schools, meeting with students and talking with guidance counselors. Some of our admissions counselors are gearing up to go to much more exotic places (no offense to the Lehigh Valley :-)) like Texas, Florida and Hawaii. One of our counselors travel all over the world - lucky duck. Students all over the globe are interested in Lehigh and we love reaching out to them!
