Yo, has anyone here ever been to one of the HBCU conferences? I’ve heard they can be super informative and a great way to connect with the schools. I'm particularly looking at the upcoming HBCU conferences in 2023 and wondering what goes on there. Do you get a chance to speak to representatives one-on-one? What should I prepare or expect if I decide to go?
Hey there! I've had quite a few students who attended HBCU conferences and they've shared that the experience was incredibly insightful.
One of the main benefits is getting one-on-one time with representatives from different HBCUs. These reps can give you detailed information about their schools, including admission requirements, scholarship opportunities, and campus life. They're also usually happy to answer individual questions, so it's a great chance to get clarified on anything specific you're curious about.
Prepare by researching the schools you're most interested in so you can ask targeted questions. It's also a good idea to bring a notebook or tablet to take notes because you'll likely receive a lot of valuable information. Make sure to collect contact info from the reps so you can follow up later if you have more questions or need guidance! Enjoy the conference, it's a wonderful opportunity to get a real feel for what HBCUs offer.
