Three quick questions with Trinity University

Three quick questions with Trinity University

For Three Quick Questions, I send the same three questions to admissions representatives at colleges all over the country (the subject line of the e-mail is “Three quick questions”), and then I hope to hear back from them. When I do, I post them on Apply with Sanity. It’s that simple.

The three questions are meant to probe some of the things that make a school unique but that aren’t easily captured as a stat to go in a book or web search.

This response is from Gail Roberson, Director of Admissions—Houston Recruitment at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.

What is a course, tradition, program or event that is unique to Trinity University?

What should high school students do over the winter break?

What should high school students do over the winter break?

Last week I covered what seniors, who are finishing up college applications this month, might want to do with their winter break. Other high schoolers may not hav those particular deadlines looming, but they still get a break from school, and there are things they ought to consider doing over that break.

What should seniors do over the winter break?

It’s really hard to talk about what to do over the winter break, because there’s just so much variability to how things are going for seniors. In the past, I could count on a few things from my 12th grade readers: they were in high school, they were looking forward to a break, and they had relatively stable lives. I understand those things aren’t ever true for absolutely every high school senior, but for the ones reading college admissions advice websites I pretty much took those things for granted.

Not so this year.
