College Spotlight: Chapman University

At many colleges,  you are encouraged to reach out to your area's Admission Officer (AO). At Chapman, they make it too easy to pass up, from the robust  “Meet your Counselor” pages to the slideshow on a continuous loop in the Admission office waiting room, the folks at Chapman WANT you to get to know your Rep.

Unlike many schools, Chapman ALSO includes a link to access your AO while you’re working on your application – the Chapman page on the Common App has a link inviting you to reach out to your AO right on their top page!

Not only does Chapman make it easy to make yourself known to the Admission office online, they also create opportunities to get to know them in person.  Each Admission Officer is encouraged to plan a service project in the local area they serve.

I HIGHLY recommend doing this and taking advantage of this – a GREAT way for your AO to remember your name and you get to be yourself.  That is the person you want to get to know and you want that person to know you!

Also, once you’ve met your AO,  send a thank you note – handwritten is great – this still goes a long way!
