42 Must-Ask Questions for College Admissions Officers

Ever felt like choosing a college is like wandering through a maze blindfolded? I sure have! But here’s a secret: the key to clarity is asking the right questions—ones that admissions officers rarely hear. 🌟 When I visited a campus in the heart of Chicago, I didn’t just ask about majors. I dove into what makes the school unique, the real cost after scholarships, and how they support students’ mental health. The answers? Sometimes surprising, sometimes vague—always revealing! Don’t just nod along—challenge the reps! Ask about hidden gems, support for first-gen students, and the quirkiest campus traditions. And if you catch a whiff of a knowledge gap or contradiction, call it out in the comments below. Who knows, maybe you’ll help me spot a myth I missed! 😉 Let’s swap stories: What’s the wildest answer you’ve gotten from an admissions officer? Or, what question do you wish you’d asked?
