Wabash College Top Questions

I would just tell myself to be patient and determined.

Jake, The transition to college, as you will inevitably hear, is almost impossible to describe in nature as there is no real experience that can prepare you for something so instantly life changing. However, the change from high school regulaiton to college freedom can be made easily and effectively if you simply learn to regulate yourself, and find a social network with which to help ease the load. Study groups, despite your obvioulsy amazing grades, will help you no matter what you may think; all required to find a study group, as the change is intimidating and you are going to a college where you will not know anyone personally, is simple searching and opennes with whatever help you may find. Also, do not be reserved in nature regarding class, teachers and tutors are being paid for you to graduate, and, as everyone always wants to lend aid to the success of others however they can, it is vital that you utilize support services, as it will not only impress your teachers, but ease the difficulty college provides immeasurably.

Take the hardest classes you are capable of completing, that way your the classes in your first semester of college won't be so difficult in comparison to your high school work.

Don't be afriad to get involved. Don't wait too long to make friends and whatever you do, do it with 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} effort.

I would advise myself to spend more time working on the application forms to make them more polished. I would research more about colleges I applied. Probably I would work more on my SAT. Also, I would tell myself not to worry too much as I did back then.

If I could go back and give myself advice as a senior in high school, I would encourage myself to stay true to myself and never lose focus on my studies. Wabash College is a difficult school and one slip up can drop you from an A to an A-. Get involved but not too involved, since it is such a small school there are so many opportunities that you can spread yourself too thin. I have at times failed in my leadership because I became overzealous and got too involved. The best thing you can do to prepare for the future at a college like Wabash is to focus on receiving a stellar GPA and getting professional experience in internships over the summer. Another excellent opportunity available to students, that I wish I had taken advantage of, is the ability to collaborate on serious scholarly projects with professors. It is easy to become a published author in your field if you work with professors and put in time and passion for your work. Every student should take advantage of the uniqueness of a Wabash education. The small class sizes do not allow students to slip through the cracks.

I would definitely say that it is important to visit the colleges... on your own. I mean, going with your parents to visit a college is great, but staying there over a weekend without your parents will give you a real picture of what the classes are like. Attend classes, hang out with students, get a feel for the campus- nothing is more important than you feeling comfortable and at home.

Work harder, learn more.

Continue on the path you are on. It will all be for the best in the end.

I would remind myself that a school is not good for me because others say it would be. Many people told me of the prestige of Wabash and how I would be a perfect fit, but I never really examined what it would be like on my own. I love Wabash, but I would tell my high school self to give other schools a look and not make a decision based on what other people say. Do I regret my decision? No, but I wish I would have given other schools that accepted me a chance. I think I rushed my college decision a little bit. I would remind myself that my acceptances at these schools aren't going anywhere and that time isn't running out as quickly as it seems. Basically I would just tell myself as a high school senior to calm down and make a truly informed decision of where I want to spend the next four years of my life.

I would tell myself to make sure and enjoy every moment that I have at Wabash. The time that I have spent here have been both enriching on an intellectual level, but also on a personal level. The men that I have met here, and the opportunities that Wabash has provided me with can never be matched and I would tell myself to take advantage of all of them.

higher SAT score, go to e school fits you the best. make good choices of your schools when you apply. Look for more schools beyond IVY LEAGUE.

I would tell myself to be friendly and open to all of the people in your dorm. I have met many friends from being perdonable and friendly. I would also tell myself to attend many of the events on campus and try to support the many sport teams on campus. By supporting the college's various groups, sports, and activities I would in turn get value out of meeting new people and having people support me when I play baseball or have a certain sporting event. I would tell myself that Wabash is a great place with even better students. I would also tell myself to join several different activity groups and to join efforts to make the college a better place for everyone. I will be fine and you will miss home a little bit but the students and staff at Wabash will help make the college your second home. Here everybody is a brother and everybody can call the historic campus and halls of Wabash College.

I would inform myself of the opportunities that come from taking advanced placement course. I also would have tried to keep my GPA up a lot higher then i did in highschool because that would have allowed me to get more of my tutition payed for. I also would have told myself to look at colleges early because the test for scholarships useally happen early on in the year. I might have told my self to speak with my guaidance consoler more offten to keep the little scholarship opportuninies open for my self. I would have studied a lot more for my SATs and for my ACTs even thought I did study a lot. I then would have tould myself to keep up the hard work and to continue to educate myself.

I would tell myself not to take five classes.

All the work that you do in high school will pay off in college. The workload is not what is hard. Time management and the freedom you have will be the crux of your existence. Remember to have fun, but recognize when you need to just sit down and get your work done.

I would tell myself that I need to go to a different highschool. One that prepares you more for college and does not make it so easy on you. Once I got to Wabash I would be compeltly on prepared for the workload and type of work that would be expected of me at Wabash. Other than that I would assure myself past self that things would work out at the school I picked (Wabash) was the right choice for me and that it ended up being a very good fit.

If I could go back and give myself advise I would say a few things. The first being, meet as many people as you can. I am a sophomore already and I am still meeting people that I wish i would have met earlier. There are amazing people at school that will have a huge impact on you for the rest of your life. The next thing I would tell myself is to study hard but stell try to have a social life. Grades are important but enjoying your college experience is also important. There is a time for studying and a time for having fun and relaxing. Above all just enjoy your experience and try to get as much out of your experience as you can.

I would tell myself to enjoy every last second with good friends while learning more in my Calculus class. I would remind myself not to worry about the upcoming transition to college because Wabash has all the people in place to make the transition seemingly effortless.
