Consultation Room

Our Consultation Room, which allows for one-on-one consultations with Hobsons staff, will be open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Hobsons staff (including the Intelliworks team) and members of the Common App online team will be available at various times throughout these days. If your specific Hobsons representative is not available, you can meet with another member of our team.

You will be able to sign up for time slots in advance of the conference – or you can schedule them on site. Additional information on the sign-up process will be provided in June 2012. Bring your laptop, your ideas from sessions attended, and your questions.
