There are three quick questions I ask admissions representatives:
What is a course, tradition, program or event that is unique to your school?
Naturally every college wants to recruit the perfect student--high grades, high test scores, involved in their community, leadership...everything. But what kinds of imperfect students tend to flourish at your school?
When people come to visit your school, what's a place off campus that you recommend they check out while they're there?
