While choosing a college is not the end-all be-all in a person taking steps to get where they want to be in life, college can be a very big stepping stone for people, and choosing the right college is a difficult but important decision. If I had a chance to sell Grove City College to a prospective student, this is how I would do it. I’ll set the scene first: I am just meeting a student and their parents for the first time and I am eating at hicks with them. Initially, I would start the conversation with basic questions about them like “where are you from”, “what do you do for fun”, and other questions of that sort. Next, I would tell them about myself in conversation so they can get a sense of who I am as a person. The start of the interaction is very important in instilling trust in the prospective student and their parents. I would then ask them more specific questions about what they are looking for in a college and what their most important factors are when looking for a college. I would then explain my experience related to those topics and explain first-hand or second-hand examples to help them get a good picture of what they can get out of going here. This is where I would be discovering the pain and then seeing if Grove City offers a solution to that pain. Throughout the whole conversation I would be very honest and upfront because this is a big commitment and if it is not the right fit then it isn’t because ultimately my goal is to serve them in helping make their decision. I would finish off the conversation with explaining them my why in choosing Grove City and how Grove City has helped me achieve my goals throughout my time here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
