Good Morning ?

 

It is a pleasure to provide you with an admission application update and the progress of various recruitment programs.  The chart below shows that our current applications total 1374 and are 23.2% ahead of last year. The total number of admitted students to date is 890.  This compares to 702 at this time last year.  The academic profile of the admitted pool is: 3.91 GPA, 28.4 ACT, and 1263 SAT. 

 



 

The admission staff conducted receptions for admitted students and their families in selected geographical areas during the month of January.  These events, which take place in venues such as museums, hotels, or local restaurants, allow admitted students to get better acquainted with Hendrix and with each other.  Reception locations included:  Arkansas ? Bentonville and Little Rock; Colorado ? Denver; Louisiana ?  New Orleans and Shreveport; Mississippi ? Starkville; Missouri ? Kansas City and St Louis; Oklahoma ? Tulsa; Tennessee ? Memphis and Nashville; and Texas ? Austin, Dallas, and Houston.

 

Scholar Recognition Days are scheduled for February 9 and March 1.  In addition, the Hays Scholarship Competition will take place on Saturday, February 23.  Twenty-four faculty members will serve as evaluators.    

 

All of this good news is only possible because of community effort. Thank you for your continued support as we recruit the fall 2008 class!
