What happens after you accept a connection request?Answered
Specifically, what do you say? My dream school just connected with me, but I don't really have any admission-related questions. If you're reading this I hope you have a good day :)

Hi @Jasmine23!
It's nice that you're clear about the admissions process. Now you need to think about what will happen beyond admissions.
You're going to spend 4 crucial years of your life at an institution (unless you transfer or graduate early), which might not be in your home state. It could be a completely new place and you might not have any high school friends there. The academic rigor will be much higher than what you are used to.
How do you plan to deal with the above circumstances? Do you know the resources available at the school that'll help you get the most out of your undergraduate experience? Have you visited the campus? What are the popular places on campus? What opportunities does the school have for say, studying abroad/internships/exchange programs/anything related to your field of interest?
These are some of the questions you should try to get an answer for.
Hope this helps!
Congratulations! I would maybe just ask them any questions you may have, not necessarily about admissions. Show that you're interested in them.
Maybe request an interview or if there's anyone on admissions you could get in touch with to talk about classes, food, housing, environment, etc. Show as much demonstrated interest, this helps with scholarships too.
