ÍøÆسԹÏ

My ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï waitlist experience.

For all of you high school seniors at home filling out your college applications right now, this is a blog post for you. It's written specifically to myself, but extrapolate my own advice into your own experiences.

It's late November and the height of college-application season - and I'm here to help! Here's my advice, compiled neatly into categories and lists.

For a long time, the college experience was all about "big" to me.

On leaving New England to go to college.

Honestly, when I was trying to decide on my post-high school plans, I never even thought about going to a school like ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï College.

My decision to spend my undergraduate years at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï wasn't quite the storybook tale, but it did end with a happily ever after.

In a weird way, my first brush with ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï was like my birth: I was late (although not by 10 days) and my body was propelled through the air until I landed somewhere, and maybe that's why I loved it immediately.

Being at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï has truly made me engage directly with my school community that I most definitely would have circumvented had I stayed in my city, where I would've relied on my own pre-existing knowledge of my surroundings to find something to do.

So if studying in the US is just one of many options for international students, and the liberal arts is a subset of those options, and ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï is an even smaller choice within those already narrow decision frameworks... Well, why do I do what I do?
