Hello Internet! I'm Mario, a tour guide and student at Lehigh University. I hope you all are having a great 2009 so far. As a tour guide, I have the fortunate chance of meeting students and parents at various stages of the process. I have now seen the admission process from 2 angles: one year, I applied, waited, visited colleges, emailed dozens of admissions officers/students, etc. The very next year, I was in the position of recruiting, answering those questions for parents and students, and offering advice on the application process. Over the next couple months, you’ll be hearing from me on many of my experiences here at Lehigh, while giving a little insight into my relationship with the admissions office and prospective students.
With the combined wait and that dreaded senioritis, I’m sure you seniors will be looking for something to do to make those winter days go by faster. So I thought I’d compile a little list for you. Many of these could be done from the comfort of your computer:
Top 7 things to do while you wait for your application decision:
7. Read more. Pick up a new book, subscribe to a magazine, find a new blog, etc.
6. Start that summer job hunt.
5. Work out. Take that anxiety out on the gym.
4. Honestly, keep trying in school! I’ve been there; you never know if your second semester grades will matter. Especially if they start slipping more than you’d expect.
3. Find some scholarships. There’s always a company or a foundation in your area, state, or even nationally that offer scholarships.
2. Read my blog!
1. Check your email often. You never know when a college might contact you needing more information or have a question.
