Addison Trail seniors participate in on-site admissions experience with Eastern Illinois University

Addison Trail senior Saul Garcia displays his acceptance letter to Eastern Illinois University (EIU). Garcia was admitted to EIU on Nov. 1, when a university representative met with Addison Trail seniors for an on-site application program.

On Nov. 1, Eastern Illinois University (EIU) Admissions Counselor Erica Aguilar met with 18 Addison Trail seniors to guide them through the university’s admissions process. EIU waived the application fee, and Aguilar reviewed each student’s academic transcript and standardized test scores, helped him or her apply online and conducted an on-the-sport interview.

Through that process, senior Saul Garcia received an acceptance letter that day to attend EIU.

The on-site admissions experience gave those seniors insight into the many post-high school options available to them, and the Addison Trail Guidance Department is pursuing partnerships with other colleges and universities as well to provide more opportunities for students.
