It’s that time of year again; the time when high school seniors rush home to frantically check their mailboxes for decisions from their priority and early applications. The Cardin students have experienced great success with applications so far this year. Even at this early stage in the year, there are already a few seniors who know exactly where they will be attending college next year.
It is important to remember that this is a very personal process. Every student is different and it’s crucial to be sensitive to each child’s experiences. There is no perfect formula for college admissions and disappointment is a natural emotion in this process. As a supportive community, we should not put more pressure on students by asking them about their impending college decisions. By May 1, everyone will have a place to go. The process always works itself through and it’s important to remember that every child is unique. There are over 3,000 colleges in the United States and students may take their own path to get where they want to go.
Cardin students thrive wherever they go. I am happy to share the news that Julia Minor ’07 will be the first Cardin graduate to obtain a college diploma. Julia will be graduating from the University of Pittsburgh this weekend with a double major in Political Science and Religious Studies and a minor in Public Service. Mazel tov to Julia and her family!
