Important stuff: college information events, dates

Note: Today (Sept. 21) was the deadline to sign up for the Oct. 27 ACT, but the deadline has been extended to next Wednesday, Sept. 26.

Here's an upcoming series of college enrollment events. I lifted these from Gordon Chalmers' College Bulletin (San Francisco School of the Arts) — thanks, Gordon.

I don't know what happens if you show up to these without RSVP'ing. If I hear about bad repercussions, I'll post a warning. It would be wrong to use someone else's name in the hope that they'd get blacklisted and not you. (Anyway, a big part of the benefit of showing up at these events is to demonstrate your interest to the college.)

TOMORROW: Fordham University reception: Saturday, Sept. 22, 1 p.m., Marriott S.F. Airport (1800 Old Bayshore Highway, Burlingame). You're supposed to preregister: www.fordham.edu/admissionevents (Heads up students dreaming of going to college in Manhattan!)

Georgetown University meeting: Sunday, Sept. 23, 6 p.m., Preservation Park, Nile Hall, Oakland (668 13th St.). RSVP: chaussee@georgetown.edu

Carnegie Mellon University information session: Sunday, Sept. 30, 2 p.m., Marriott Fisherman's Wharf, 1250 Columbus Ave.

(This touring event is presented by the National Association for College Admission Counseling — NACAC, pronounced Naackaack. This mysterious organization is a big force in the lives of high-schoolers and their families, even if we don't know it.)
