       Bring along two dozen abbreviated profiles (or Address labels on index cards) and distribute them to college representatives you choose to meet or from whom you want to receive information.
        Your profile (or label) might contain;  your name, address, city state, zip and telephone numbers, the name of your secondary school and your date of graduation.    The profile may include your estimated class rank and your SAT I & II scores (it is permissible to lump the SAT I scores into one number, e.g. 900 or 1000.)  You might mention three or four activities in which you participate.  This will enable you to spend your time conversing with a representative rather than filling our information cards.
       Always request the representatives professional (business) card.  This will help you to maintain a communication link should you have more questions or should you decide to visit the college at a later date.
