Hill Seniors Remain Undaunted as they Prepare for College in the Fall
|
|
The college admissions process went smoothly this past fall, and the 119 members of the Class of 2020 were accepted into 189 colleges, with academic scholarship monies totaling $41.5 million. The college decision-making process has been more difficult, however, when the opportunity to attend live accepted students’ days shifted to virtual experiences in mid- March, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Mrs. Kerry Sullivan ‘81, Hill’s Director of College Counseling, this unprecedented crisis has presented new questions and challenges.
