We’re in the process of shifting gears here. My colleagues and I are coming in off the road, settling back into the office, and preparing to move from focusing on recruitment (our task for the past few months) to focusing on selection (our task for the next few months).

For many students, the college search does not end with the discovery of one top-choice school (this was the case for me; see my post from last year on “the perfect college”). But for some the search does end this way. Some students visit a particular campus, meet a tour guide or current student, or sit in on a class, and things just click – and they know they’ve found their top-choice school.

Ahhhhhhhh.
That’s the collective sigh I can almost hear being released around the admission office this week. With fall travel, application season, spring visit programs, and most recently spring travel behind us, we have done the bulk of our work in bringing together the Class of 2013, and we can finally take a step back [...]
Meet the Class of 2013! Geographically, that is. We’ve designed a Google Map to give you a sense of just where our students are coming from. We’ll be updating it throughout the month of April as more students enroll, so be sure to check back in. And admitted students who enroll should be sure to find their new spider!

Well, we had another highly competitive year for admission and, as is always the case, we had many more qualified applicants than we have space for in our class. Those of you who have been offered a spot on the wait list are students whom we believe are fully qualified and would contribute greatly to our campus but for whom we don’t, given our size limitations, have space at present. Selective admission is a difficult process for us, as we try to select a class from among many strong, similarly-qualified applicants.
