As I wrap up my first year post-graduation, and working for the College there are a number of lessons I have learned about the College Admissions process. Lessons I wish I would have been privy to all those years ago when I was applying for Colleges. I have summed up three lessons I have learned while working in college admissions. I hope these lessons are helpful to you as you navigate the College Admissions process, regardless of where you might be in that process:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Applications get read and re-read and sometimes re-re-read\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Holy Cross uses a holistic approach to admission<\/a>. We value every aspect of an applicant’s background, and we read every part of the application to ensure we understand the whole picture. Our reading and committee processes are extensive and dedicated to ensuring that we get to know each and every applicant. In short, we care about getting to know you and will read every part of your application multiple times. We are thoughtful and intentional about every decision we make!\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Your admissions counselor wants to get to know you!\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n One thing I wish I would have taken advantage of as an applicant is getting to know my regional admissions counselor<\/a>. As an admissions counselor I love connecting with students and answering their questions! Your admissions counselor is incredibly knowledgeable and can serve as a great resource to you at any point in the admissions process. Please do not be shy about connecting with your counselor!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
