Talking with all of you!\u00a0 In many ways this is the best time of the year for the Admissions staff.\u00a0 We first met many of you last spring\/summer.\u00a0 We then saw you at high school visits, fairs, and evening information sessions in the fall.\u00a0 This winter, as we read through your applications, we came to know you even better.\u00a0 Each and every one of you, who was offered admission to our Class of 2012, is someone we\u2019ve gotten to know in one way or the other.\u00a0 For us, Open House is wonderful because we get to re-make your acquaintance.\u00a0 We really enjoy the opportunity to see and talk with all of you smart, fantastic, interesting people.\u00a0 We\u2019re invested in you.\u00a0 We truly think purple is your color, and we hope to see you on campus this fall!<\/p>\n
