One of the dominant topics at the conference was how to get the message of the school to eligible students. Each school uses community evening meetings as a way to meet prospective students and parents while all except the South Carolina school visit high schools in their home state. Most counselors agreed visiting the middle schools and junior highs was a way to approach potential applicants. Another issue was the type of student the schools would be recruiting. Next year's conference of admissions counselors is scheduled for July 22-24 at a site to be announced.
