One word or phrase to describe myself

Motivated

Top three reasons I would choose to attend Lake Forest College

1. Individualized attention – The size of Lake Forest College permits students to get to know their professors and peers allowing for strong mentorship throughout the student experience that helps students succeed academically and prepare for their future careers.
2. Strong community – Everyone is genuinely excited and passionate about being part of the greater Lake Forest College community.
3. Access to Chicago – Students have the best of both words with the opportunity to have a small campus learning experience while embracing the many personal and professional opportunities offered by living near the largest city in the Midwest.

What character traits do I appreciate in an applicant?

Enthusiasm, motivation, and the eagerness to learn. I like when students have thought about what college means to them, what they want out of their college experience, and what courses, activities, and resources they will seek as they move through their education.

What makes the College unique?

The College has a strong focus on the liberal arts tradition while also providing strong career preparation. The ability for students to have personal relationships with their professors, small class sizes, and the opportunity for internships in Chicago, provides students with the knowledge, support, and experiences necessary to be successful at Lake Forest College and in their future careers.

Tip for the college search

Hint for success

Never be afraid to ask a question. If the question is important for you to have answered, it is always worth asking.
