Admissions representatives can assist students in making the most informed dicisions possible by engaging in critical thinking conversations with the student on what they want to do with their education. Finding out why a student is considering a college education helps the admissions rep help the student figure out if the school is a good fit for them and what program would benefit the student the most.
thestudent has to be informed to be able to make the right decisions in picking a school
What are your plans for this degree? Inquire about career goals. The student should have some idea what they want to do and plans to obtain that specific goal for themselves.
i like this idea alot....I think it could really help the student feel comfortable their decison
Always provide accurate information and be careful not to omit anything
This game sounds beneficial on the surface, but wouldn't the best route be to lay all the details on the table, so the student and the school can make the best decision for both of them? Playing a game to find their interests doesn't always lead to a productive future. A student may be interested in one area or field for a brief portion of their lives, but not actually have the desire to pursue that field for the remainder of their career - leading to the statistic of changing careers over 7 times in your life. Remember, people are easily influenced by society. Are you out to enroll people and make the dollar, or find the best fit for the long-term future of the student?
Always provide relevant information for the student to make an informed decision.
I ask what the student is attempting to accomplish with the additional education.
You really have to get to know the student and what they really want. If you are honest with them and they are honest with themselves and push them within their boundaries
By asking open ended questions and probing about what is important to the student, the possibility of guiding the student toward a more informed choice of program typically will result.
I agree. You have to listen to the student into detail to know what they want and what is the best way for them to go and what they need in terms of educational paths and desires...
Admissions representatives can assist students in making the most informed decisions regarding their education by being extremely thorough with the student during the interview phase. Discerning a student's ultimate career goals and disclosing pertinent information regarding the programs completion rates will definitely assist the student in making an informed decision regarding their choice of study.
I ask the prospective student why they chose a particular career path then i open up dialog with them in order to bring out their desire for that career. By taking them on a tour of the program facility i am able to bring out more questions from the student about the career. I feel it helps them make a more sound decision.
Since our school is a career school, part of the interview process is to inform the potential student the type of tasks and enviroment setting that a specific career would be like or what they may be exposed to. We also refer students to the www.bls.gov site to have them look up the career field for the degree program that they are inquiring about.
it is important to make sure the prospective students are well-informed. i like to have students talk to the program director of the program they are looking into. that way they can get specifics on what they do.
Spending time with the perspective student and truly taking an interest in them and their future goals are key. At times you need to slow down the process and have the student reflect on what they have seen and heard while working with them.
We only offer one course of study so we concentrate on informing prospective students on the expectations for graduating successfully. We let them know that if they ever have any problem understanding something that was discussed in class to let us know so we can set up tutoring for anyone who feels they need it.
I feel that the most important conversation to have with the student next to the regulation and provision period conversation is the "WHY" conversation. It is important to find out why the student is doing this, this allows you to understand the students motivation for attending. This conversation and the information you obtain from this conversation can be used to not only motivate the student but hold them accountable.
I think the most important conversation the admissione representative can have with the perspective student is the "WHY" conversation. Why are they doing this? Finding out what the why is allows you to understand the students motivations, this can be used to help the student when times get hard. You can use this as not only motivation but as a source of accountability. Usually the Why involves people they dont want to let down besides themselves.
Wow, I have think permitting future student the ability to sit in a classroom will give them more insight as what path they will select.
