The Truth about Colleges and Getting In.

On this week's CappCast Eric Carpio of Adams State College talks about scholarships you don't have to apply for, and a program that promotes outdoor adventure.

Adams State is located in the San Luis Valley in Colorado. For the uninitiated, that's the home of huge mountains, Great Sand Dunes Natinal Park and the Rio Grande River. Adams State is in Alamosa, in the heart of the valley, and offers an Outdoor Adventure Program which organizes student trips, some lasting a weeks, to explore the surrounding area. Carpio talks about this, as well as the school's need for certain types of students. So if you're a Hispanic male wanting to teach, or anyone wanting to study sports psychology, then listen up. To get more information on getting in Adams State visit Cappex.com, where colleges apply to you.

Students at the University of Denver will get more than a good education. On this week's CappCast, vice chancellor Tom Willouhby details what's available on campus, and we're not just talking about the new lacrosse stadium.

Students receive, for example, a free light rail pass so they can trek downtown any time they wish. Also, if you can hold a 3.0 GPA then students can study abroad at no extra cost. The tuition to that specialty school in Bora Bora will be the same for the student as if they stayed in Denver. This is a popular option, as 70 percent of students at UD qualify. If you do want to hang around Denver we wont' blame you. There are six major ski resorts within 90 minutes. To learn more about how to get accepted at the University of Denver visit Cappex.com, where colleges apply to you.

On this week's CappCast you can get to know Brad Tokar, dean of admissions at Westminster College in Pennsylvania. If you're already at Westminster then you probably already know Tokar. Westminster has a low student-faculty ratio, high graduation rate and almost half of its student body participating in athletics.

Most importantly though, Westminster specializes in personal connections. Tokar, for example, talks about students visiting the homes of their advisors and getting cell phone calls from professors. To learn more about Westminster, and their experience-heavy educational program, visit Cappex.com, where colleges apply to you.
