Fair for high-end colleges coming our way

For ambitious super-achievers, five of the colleges that want your application in their inboxes are teaming up to offer a college presentation that looks rather exclusive. Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, Penn (University of Pennsylvania) and Stanford have formed a project, if that's what you call it, called Exploring College Options, www.exploringcollegeoptions.org

Presentations in the Bay Area and Sacramento:

San Jose/Santa Clara
Monday, May 12, 7:30 p.m.
Hyatt Regency Santa Clara
5101 Great America Parkway
415/200-1234

Oakland/East Bay
Tuesday, May 13, 7:30 p.m.

Sacramento

The publicity material sounds like reservations are seriously required. Go to the website for more information and to RSVP.

What is this "sleep" of which you speak?

Here's another one:

"Brown University, the University of Chicago, Columbia University, Cornell University and Rice University have traveled together for many years to speak to students and their families about college admissions."

Thanks, Belle! I hadn't gotten the notification about that one yet. Will do a separate post highlighting it. My sense is that these aren't publicized that widely but rather are targeted to mailing lists of top PSAT performers.
