Before becoming an admissions representative I had a lot of concerned for this part in particular. For the moment I can’t think of something as important as to responsibly informing a prospective student regarding his/her transferability of credits. As I’m so concerned about it, I’ll do my very best in thoroughly studying this information. I can’t think of providing nothing but the most factual information in this matter. Credits represent hard work, long hours and money. I would simply hate for a student to have his/her hard work go to waste because of the lack of the right information.

Key to the role of admissions representative is to get familiar thoroughly with all the programs an institution has to offer. Considering my own experience, I know how easy it is to overlook some programs when one focuses so much on balancing college studies with different personal responsibilities. There are so many resources a college can offer that it is crucial for the admissions representative to make a prospective student aware of all these programs. These services can vary from tutoring to counseling and it might just the right lifesaver for a student when striving for the aforementioned balance.

While it might seem tedious at first to learn every regulation regarding the admission process, I can picture being a great source of motivation the fact that at the end it will only benefit tremendously a prospective applicant who is excited about starting his/her classes. The better I study these rules the better I will do at the helping potential students with a smoother transition. At the same time, the institution I work for will be represented professionally.

I realize a lot of people have discussed this already, but being my first time in this position, and after studying this particular section, I’m much more aware as to how crucial this role is. Not only are we the first point of contact for our institutions with the public in general, but we bear great responsibility in helping prospective students make one of the most important commitments in life. I just look forward to doing my best in fulfilling all expectations in this rewarding job.
