Back in the Swing of Things

So what did you do over your holiday break?

We accepted over 1,000 students to the Class of 2012.

Is this as daunting a task as it sounds?  Absolutely.  Crafting a class out of thousands of applicants can be difficult and is definitely time-consuming.  But it's worth it.  The staff here finds that working the long hours and grueling schedule is all made worth it when you read that one essay that just makes you say "wow." 

So here we are again, back to work and school and getting back to the business of admission.  It's far from over as we will be working diligently to get our class that will begin in the fall.  May 1 is when accepted students must make their final decisions about which university to attend and our staff will work through then to make sure that we are getting the right students for the university.  We take our job very seriously at JCU.  Our job as admission professionals is not to just fill seats in the class, but to fill the seats with students who will thrive in the classroom and in the community. 

If you are a senior in high school you have three and a half months to make your decision.  Please let us know if we can help in that decision.  That's what we are here for.

Time for a new calendar

I really cannot believe that it is 2008.  It doesn't seem all that long ago that the admission staff was spread out around the country recruiting the class of 2012 and now, just like that, it's 2008.  Time truly does fly. 

2007 was a great year for JCU and specifically the Office of Admission and we are expecting even better things for 2008.  With the Campus Master Plan being finalized soon, we should have lots to share with you over the next few months to show you where John Carroll will be going in the next 10 years.   There are exciting things just around the corner!

From the entire admission staff, we wish you the best of luck, happiness, and success in 2008!
