to learn about in high school. This year I took courses in economics and architecture and really enjoyed them." |

your classmates are all starting at a new school and are going through the same transition as you." |

Q: Can a good admission essay
turn a "no" into a "yes"?
A: Probably not. But it might
just turn a "maybe" into a "yes." The best advice I can give students applying
to college is, don't try to impress us. We want to hear about you, the real
you. If you want to learn more, read the essay I recently published in the New York Times blog, "The Choice: Demystifying
College Admissions and Aid." While you're at it, go to our Web site and check
out the essays that worked.
— Martha Merrill '84, dean of admission and financial aid
