My advice to prospective students is...

Do not, at any point, undermine your value or abilities as a reflection of the colleges you do or don't get into. Every college looks for students on specific criterion or personality that aligns with them, and it isn't always because you lacked somewhere. There is always ways in life for you to make things work out, and whichever college you end up in might always be the right place for you!

I also knew I was specifically looking into a liberal arts college for my undergrad because of my love for smaller class sizes and research opportunities, all of which I have certainly found here :)

My favorite MHC tradition is...
