Hello _______________, I’m a sophomore at ________________ high school, and I’d like to know more about __________ [college or university]. You might remember my sister, Marguerite Garzon, who graduated with you. She went to Ohio State University, but I’m looking at other options.
Will you please tell me how you like school and answer a few questions for me:
 How difcult is the work? Is the workload much more than what we have in high school? Is it manageable if I also have a part-time job during school?
 How accessible are the instructors at your school? Do they have time for you one-on-one?
 What’s the social life like at your school? Are fraternities and sororities popular? What do people do for fun?
 Does your school have a debate club? I’m on the debate team in high school, and I’d like to join a club in college. What are my options?
Thanks for giving me your perspective. This will help me make a decision about whether to apply to your school.
