Why did you apply Early Decision?
After looking at lots of schools, мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û really stood out to me. I liked the location and the friendly environment, but most importantly, I could picture myself as a student on campus. Seeing myself as someone who belonged and was comfortable in this community was one of the most important factors in my choice to apply early decision. 
 

Best part of college so far?  
I have loved my college experience but the мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û Outdoor Orientation Program might be my favorite so far. It was a great way to make friends and connect with people before starting classes.  

Biggest surprise about college? 
No question, being able to take a racquetball course for credit. It was really fun being able to try a completely new sport that I may not have otherwise participated in. 

Advice on applying Early Decision?  
If you can truly see yourself at мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û, any school, for that matter, don’t hesitate to apply early decision. But make sure to start the application process as early as you can, so that you have time to enjoy your final year of high school.
