Several in-state colleges visited Jonathan Law High School on December 14 for Instant Decision Day.

Instant Decision Day was hosted in the counseling department by the Law’s guidance counselors. Some colleges that visited were Southern Connecticut State University, Central Connecticut State University, Western Connecticut State University, Albertus Magnus College, and the University of New Haven.

The colleges interviewed the seniors that applied to each school and gave them an acceptance decision on the spot.

“Students had to sign up to attend,” guidance counselor Mrs. Kovacs said.

In all, 25 students signed up to attend the event.

Sacred Heart University also visited Law for the Instant Decision Day. The Assistant Superintendent of the college was in attendance to help make the admission decisions.

“(Law senior) Mary Lonergan got accepted into the Sacred Heart Early Decision Nursing Program with a scholarship,” Kovacs said. 

Students went to the interviews prepared and well-dressed.

“The students came prepared with questions and they were professionally dressed,” College and Career Coordinator Mrs. Sylvia said.
