There are three quick questions I ask admissions representatives:

  1. What is a course, tradition, program or event that is unique to your school?

  2. 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?

  3. When people come to visit your school, what's a place off campus that you recommend they check out while they're there?
