Good Morning,

 

It is a pleasure to provide you with an admission application and enrollment update.  The chart shows that our applications currently total 1,633 or 27.8% ahead of last year at this time. Deposits received to date are 142, as compared to 113 last year.  The academic profile of the admitted pool is:  3.85 GPA, 28 ACT, and 1253 SAT. 

 



 

This is the yield season for our office and I?m sure you have noticed many students visiting campus in recent days and weeks.  Some of these students are here for a first visit to Hendrix, while others are back for a second, third, or even fourth look at the College.  We had record attendance at our two recent Scholar Recognition Days in hosting 211 students.  In addition, 94 students competed on February 23 for the Hays Memorial Scholarships.  Four students were then named Hays Scholars (a full tuition, room, board, and fees scholarship) and four were identified as Provost Scholars (full-tuition scholarship).  Two of the students have now committed to attend Hendrix next year and we anticipate decisions from the others no later than May 1.  

 

Thank you for your continued support and for the wonderful contributions you give toward recruiting the Fall 2008 class.

 

Karen Foust
