Many questions get asked this time of year, so to ease your mind I will dedicate the next few posts to some of the most common questions we get asked.
Many students and families call wanting to know if Keene State has early action or early decision. We have neither. We are rolling decision. Rolling decision means that as soon as an application is received, processed and we have everything we need to make a decision, we will go ahead and do so. We, the admissions committee, will start reviewing applications after December 1 and continue until our class is filled. What do we need to make an application complete you ask? We need an official copy of your high school transcript including your Senior year 1st marking period grades, SAT or ACT scores received directly from the source, essay and recommendation.
E-mail me a question you have and I will dedicate a post to it; swatt@keene.edu
Hope your senior year is going well and i look forward to reading your application very soon.
Right now I am typing this entry from a hotel room in Southeastern Conneticut before I head out to an evening high school college fair. Ah yes,it is that time of year agin, the time when admission professionals from around the country travel to national, regional and high school college fairs talking about their respective institution answering questions you or your parents may have. We call it fall travel season. Some counselors compare our road travels to that of a traveling salesperson or revivial preacher. I personally like to refer it as my Keene State Tour ‘08. Ok, I know it soounds a little cheesey but I like it. So check your high school, your local high school, the national and regional college fair schedule; a representative from Keene State College may be coming to a school or fair near you! See you on the road.
Classes started on Monday, August 25. The campus has been in full swing since. There has been a lot of activity down Appian Way (our Main Street of campus) as students have been enjoying the summer like weather. This weekend is Welcome Back Weekend. Tonight, Friday, there will be a bingo game on campus for all students. Tomorrow there will be trampoline performers, a BBQ, and a local radio station giving away prizes and broadcasting live from campus. It sounds like a fun filled weekend!
Our tours start on Monday and will run through the frist week of December. Please check our website for tour time and dates. We will be hitting the road soon and may be coming to your area. Feel free to e-mail us to see if a Keene State College Owl Admissions Rep will be visiting your school. We look forward to meeting you on the road and can’t wait to see you on campus!
