\"Drew\"The popular view in the 17th Century was that the Earth was stationary and that the Sun revolved around the Earth.\u00a0 Through his research and calculations, Galileo knew better and suggested such in writing. Fearing he would be put to death if he did not comply, Galileo, when called before the Inquisition, recanted his belief that the Earth revolved around the Sun.\u00a0 \u00a0But, legend has it that after renouncing what he knew to be true, he muttered underneath his breath, \u201cE pur si muove!\u201d
\nAnd yet it [the Earth] moves.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s the point of this slightly hyperbolic story?<\/p>\n

Well, the point is this \u2013 we all have a voice.\u00a0 We all have passion; we all have something to say and sometimes, our voice gets stifled.\u00a0 In the college application process, students sometimes feel as though their GPA and SAT scores get plugged into a giant admissions computer and after being fed a quart of motor oil, it spits out decisions.\u00a0 This is far from the truth (at least at Holy Cross!).<\/p>\n

We want to hear your voice so let it be heard \u2013 in your interview, in your essay, even in an email to the admissions office.\u00a0 Tell us what you think.\u00a0 Tell us what you know.\u00a0 Tell us what you love.\u00a0 And don\u2019t mutter it under your breath.\u00a0 Say it with confidence.\u00a0 Make sure that when your part of this application process is done, there is no doubt in any admission office about who you are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
