Application Mayhem

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

While the Admissions Office enjoyed a nice holiday break, the college’s mailroom was quite busy.  Upon our return, we were greeted with bins of mail of application materials from prospective students.  We sharpened our letter openers, and dove in!  It was great to see so many interested students getting their application materials in to us over the holiday.  A lot of students applied online too, which can save a tree, and we appreciate that.  This week, we are busy reviewing lots of interesting portfolios and reading many passionate artist statements!  I hope their parents have all filed their FAFSAs!  We are looking forward to getting to know all of these talented applicants over the next few months. Happy 2010!
