S O P H I A Cornell University

Sophia is off to Cornell University this fall. She chose Cornell because she liked that it was strong in many disciplines. Because she’s not quite sure what she wants to do yet, the option to study many things was very appealing to her. The college counseling department helped her by putting some schools on her radar that she might be interested in, and she applied to Cornell early decision. The counseling department “answered all my questions and looked over my essays as many times as I asked them to. They never made me feel pressured, but they also gave me honest answers which I appreciated when I asked them for advice.” Let’s go Big Red!

J A S O N University of Puget Sound

Jason will be studying and playing tennis at the University of Puget Sound this fall. While he’s not sure yet what he wants to study, he knew he wanted to attend a school where he could start on a tennis team. After touring the schools and the indoor tennis courts–“important because it rains a lot in Washington”–he knew he wanted to attend. It was also important to him to stay on the west coast and closer to home. Once he settled on his dream school, his college counselor Marvin Coote helped him review his Common App once he made his decision. Go Loggers!
