Reasons for Choosing the PLuS Program
When students apply to the PLuS program, among other questions they are also asked:
- Did you consider a college with an LD support program?
- If yes, how did you become aware of the PLuS program and the services it offers?
From the 175 participants of the 2003-2004 year, 114 answered that question and cited the following reasons:
- 20.2% of the students were advised by their high school counselors and/or psychologists to consider DePaul because of its LD support program
- 36% of the students researched universities with LD support programs (Princeton Review, Peterson Guide of Colleges, internet) by themselves or with their parents
- 6.1% asked or were informed during their initial visit at DePaul while considering colleges
- 23.7% were referred by DePaul University faculty and staff after they entered DePaul
- and 14% cited a variety of other reasons (family member, friend, DePaul alumni, etc)
Overall, 62.3% of PLuS participants who provided information, or 71 students, stated PLuS as one of the reasons that influenced their choice of university to attend.
