Advice for Whitworth Applicants:  Make a list of what the most important qualities of a school are to you and visit campuses whenever possible. Although a school can look good on paper and seem to check all your boxes, visiting will give you the best idea of what that school is truly like. Visiting can also help you determine what additional things you’re looking for in a school, or what may not matter as much as you thought.

Free-for-All: A fun fact about me is that I trained as a ballerina for about 17 years! Although I don’t dance as much anymore, I am still very passionate about it. I also love to read and spend time discussing various topics from cooking tips to why America needs more castles. One of my favorite games to play is cribbage, and I will sample and rank any kind of lemonade I can get my hands on.
