Welcome!!!

Hello faithful readers!


As Katie mentioned in her last post, we will be blogging throughout this admissions cycle bringing you the highs and lows, the ups and Downs of working in the office of admissions. It is our goal to “demystify” the admissions process. What really happens after you send off your application? We will talk openly about what it is like spending over 6 weeks on the road visiting several hundred high schools in the fall, reading thousands of applications in the winter, and coordinating dozens of programs for accepted students in the spring.

Also this blog is meant to be a forum where you can have your questions answered and comments responded to. Stonehill related, admissions related, or anything in between, we will use this blog to respond to the most frequently asked questions.

Although the admission process can be very numbers and data-driven, we hope to show the human process — that we are real people making real decisions who care about each individual applicant.

So happy reading and enjoy!
