Letters of recommendation

November 20, 2008 – 4:56 pm

We’re into the thick of application season now – my colleagues and I are sequestered in our offices, spending the bulk of our time reviewing applications, while the mail continues to pour in – so please check back regularly for some updates and advice I’ll be posting in the coming weeks.

Online Chats

November 10, 2008 – 11:23 am

Throughout the fall semester, the Office of Admission hosts a number of online chat events for high school students and parents. Chats are a great way to get some of your questions answered quickly, to get more perspective from our wonderful tour guides (who serve as current student chatters), and to chat with admission officers as well.

Goodbye, travel… hello, reading!

It’s over, folks. As of last Friday, October 31, I am officially done with my Fall 2008 recruitment travel. I finished things up with a very busy week in Philadelphia (and what a week it was to be in Philly… go Phils!!! – and if you’re wondering why I’m a fan, remember where I come from).
