Thanks for checking in! March Madness around Siena's Admissions Office isn't just in reference to basketball.
Sure, we cheered on the Saints as they danced to Spokane, Washington. (Okay, we may have even left work early to watch the game).
But we're also in the middle of one of our busiest and most important phases of the admissions process.
Here's what we're up to:
1. The Class of 2014 is admitted! That means all of our decision letters are in the mail. Now it's time to convert our admitted students to confirmed students. We are hosting receptions off campus, Shadow Days on campus, making phone calls, sending e-mails, whatever it takes to gain those future Saints!
2. Financial Aid packages are on their way. Our FA staff is BUSY crafting packages for each and every student based on their individual circumstances. It's quite the job! Remember, they don't create packages for new students alone, but the whole student body! Yikes!
3. Spring is in the air! And so is the spring travel season! Our admissions counselors are hitting the road and visiting high schools to recruit... you guessed it, JUNIORS! We're also gearing up for a huge program on campus dedicated to giving juniors a jump-start on their college search. You can learn more about that here.
Phew! It's crazy over here - but we love it!
Want to learn more? Join us from the comfort of your own home every Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. Instant Message "SienaAdmissions" - ask a question or just say hi!
Well, it's about that time. Admissions committees are in the final hours of file review and sending out the last of the decision letters.
You may find yourself anxiously awaiting the last few or agonizing over which "yes" to say yes to. For over a year we've dedicated this blog to helping you find the college that's right for you, and we still have advice to share!
Since you're probably stressing about receiving decisions and making your final choice, we thought we'd lighten things up and give you one simple way to do a little last minute research...
That's right, the same website that brought you "Charlie bit my finger" can also take you to college from the comfort of your own home. So, yes, we still want you to come visit... but in the meantime, make some hot chocolate, cuddle up on the couch and view away.
Here's how Siena uses YouTube just for you:
We take video of everything! We are "those people" who show up to the dining hall with our camcorders in hand, so you can see the real Siena for yourself.
We have our ownYouTube channel. This channel is ALL of our videos; from the virtual tour to students rushing the basketball court at the MAAC championships, we house all of our videos in one place for your viewing convenience!
We post our videos everywhere. If we want you to see it, we will post it. You can find YouTube links from our homepage, on our Facebook, and in our e-mails! Feel free to click, we put them there for a reason. ;o)
