Seminar Skills: Thinking Interdisciplinarily
I was recently able to sit in on a presentation about college admissions for students and parents, focused primarily on liberal arts education.

Springtime in Annapolis
There is a time in Maryland that occurs around early April, when winter thaws away, flowers begin to sprout seemingly everywhere, and finally(!), it’s not weird to eat ice cream again. Spring, in this counselor’s humble opinion, is Annapolis’ best season. This month has been very busy for us in the admissions office – between…

This past weekend, both Annapolis and Santa Fe had Admitted Student Receptions for the incoming class of 2023 – and they were both a smashing success. We even had a number of students who were able to attend both – but if you couldn’t make it, we put together this recap video below to give…
