Minnesota Private College Week
Choose which colleges you want to visit and register for free online. Students and parents often come together to these introductory visits, touring campuses and taking part in information sessions. Great idea for juniors (going to be seniors) to do campus visits over the summer.

"College Admissions Assistance" interview letters are being received by local students.
These are potentially a scam. At the very least, they will offer information that is available for free from any school counselor or college financial aid office, plus numerous free websites. They offer a free workshop, through a high pressure letter that makes it sound imperative to attend. Their "additional services" would be offered for a cost. Call your school counselor to discuss if needed.
