College Counseling

A large factor in my decision to enroll at Yale is the fact that they have the top humanities program in the United States, which is my current major/career interest. Also, when I visited the campus last summer, the school just seemed to fit me.

Duke was my top choice because I think it’s a place where I can pursue my passions, whether they’re academic or not. What really stood out to me was Duke’s different programs and organizations that contribute to a really vibrant student life. Whether it’s pursuing my passions as part of a student organization, or cheering on the Duke Blue Devils on game day, I can’t wait to be immersed in the Duke community and meet people from all over the world.

I am very excited to study computer science as part of Harvard's class of '22! The main reason I chose Harvard was because of the institution's awareness of the role of technology in the evolution and development of society.

I've consistently enjoyed more creative, discussion based and hands-on learning, which made the Hospitality Management program at Cornell University very attractive to me. I'm also interested in Business, Investing and Entrepreneurship and thus this program being in Cornell's SC Johnson College of Business can allow me to branch out into the business world with many opportunities and options for what I want to do in the future.

I decided to attend Rhode Island School of Design, because out of the many art schools, I felt that this school would allow me to further develop as an artist. I knew that I certainly wanted to attend RISD after participating in the Pre-College Summer Program which lasted for two months.

I will be attending Johns Hopkins University. I think that it is a good fit for me because they have a really strong English program, which is what I'm interested in. I've also heard great things about the professors and how they're really open to having close relationships with students. I think Hopkins is also the perfect size since I was looking for a school that was small enough to have a close-knit community but big enough for there to always be new, diverse groups of people that I could meet.

I chose the University of Edinburgh, Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies because of the top-notch, direct entry veterinary medicine program. The student support available also drew me in, and it certainly helped that we have a Concordia alum at the Dick Vet right now (Kristen Shuster).

I knew I wanted to attend a small liberal arts college where there is an abundance of resources and faculty support, just like Concordia’s small community and the accessible research & extracurricular opportunities. For that reason, I will be attending Wellesley College in the fall.

I have been accepted to the University of Hawaii in Hilo (UHH), and I chose this school because of their marine science program and how hands-on all of their courses are for this program. I was particularly drawn to their program, because there are so many unique classes that I can take in this field that are very hands on from the beginning compared to bigger schools where those types of experiences come later.   

I decided to attend Queen Mary University of London’s Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry because of the direct-entry medicine program that incorporates clinical exposure from the first term.
