I don’t know about you, but I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of spring tomorrow. Most of us are enjoying the warmer weather that has been slowly making an appearance in Ohio. Many people have entered their brackets into March Madness pools and are glued to the TV, trying to catch the outcomes of every game. And Miami students are trying to make the most of their seven—yes, seven- weeks left of the school year. Spring also brings us an exciting time—the period where we are finished reviewing applications (whew!), all the acceptance letters have gone out and we help those accepted seniors try to figure out what makes Miami unique. March 15 was our final notification deadline, meaning all applicants who completed their application have heard back from us now. I’ve gotten many phone calls from excited students with lots and lots of questions.
These accepted students will be coming to campus and attending our accepted student days for the next month. Our office will be filled with lots of visitors, but the buzz and excitement from these groups is awesome. It’s so fun getting to meet everyone. Finally, I can put faces with names. I can connect in person with the students I got to know so much about on paper throughout the last three months. “Oh, you’re the student that wrote that cool essay about how you got to observe an open heart surgery through your internship with a hospital? No way—you are the student who colorfully depicted to our admission committee your world travels—having visited 25 countries by the age of 18? Wow, it’s nice to finally meet you!”
Indubitably, spring is a fun-filled season for us. I hope you can make your way to our campus for a visit, no matter what year you are in school. I love the spring season, and I’m delighted it starts tomorrow!
