all from Asia |
| MHCQimti |
Hi Jewel and Lu-Yisi! |
| MHCEmma |
waht was your question mhc |
| MHCObio |
mhc, you wanted to know if MHC was a
liberal school? |
| jewel |
hey! |
| Janice |
well.. it's the only suitable time
slot for us asians, I guess |
| nanditak |
yeah! |
| mhc |
yes one of my questions |
| Lu_Yisi |
Hi |
| Weiwei_Zhang |
yes |
| MHCObio |
Qimti wanted to know exactly what
you meant by liberal. In what sense of the word? In terms of the
curriculum? Philosophy? Politics? |
| MHCEmma |
Yes Mhc, Mount Holyoke is a liberal
arts college |
| Janice |
btw, to those current students of
mhc, how do you decide what you want to write for your application
essays? |
| mhc |
I mean political |
| MHCEmma |
Janice, i would advice that whatever
question you answer, write something that is important to you |
| Shadow |
is life in MHC busy? |
| MHCObio |
There are students from many
different political persuasions here, mhc. |
| MHCAkriti |
yes Shadow it is very busy, but we
all enjoy it |
| MHCEmma |
does that help Janice? |
| Shadow |
cool! |
| Lu_Yisi |
I have a question about the MHC
supplement writing sample. A copy of paper. Can it be done by a group
including me? |
| MHCQimti |
Yes it is politically liberal. |
| Shadow |
i think MHC is a typical LAC |
| nanditak |
Hey may i ask a question - what do
you think is the advantage of going to an all girls school? and does
it change your perspective on things? |
| mhc |
I also want to know how would you
describe or what are the words that first come to your mind when you
wanna desribe MHC |
| Janice |
somewhat.. but what if the
'important' thing doesn't seem very important? I mean, looking at some
MHC students, what achievements I've done seems.. nothing much |
| Shadow |
does MC have exchange courses with
other colleges nearby? |
| MHCEmma |
no body can rate what is important
to you. but as long as it is important to you, it will stand out as
you express it in your essay |
| daniela_manolova |
I am a second year student at a two
years women's college and I my first choice of transfer is MHC. |
| MHCObio |
Hi Lu_Yisi, for the graded writing
sample, we prefer papers that were written by you only rather than
group papers |
| MHCAkriti |
MHC to me means being challenged
constantly but learning and discovering new things each day |
| MHCObio |
that's great, Daniela! Where is your
two-year women's college at? |
| Shadow |
nice! |
| MHCQimti |
Lu-Yisi, for the writing sample, it
is important that your own maturity and sophistication of thought is
demonstrated. |
| Lu_Yisi |
thanks. |
| MHCAkriti |
I transfered to MHC daniela |
| daniela_manolova |
It is in Missouri |
| Weiwei_Zhang |
hi, professor, I wanna konw if Mhc
provides interviews? |

can now |
| Weiwei_Zhang |
i mean for the applicants |

Hi benxiong_r! |

for applicants |
| nanditak |
when are the interviews, typically?
|
| Weiwei_Zhang |
really? |
| Weiwei_Zhang |
coll |
| MHCQimti |
What we typically expect as a
writing sample is an essay of some sort. |
| Weiwei_Zhang |
cool |
| Weiwei_Zhang |
i think i can have a try |
| MHCEmma |
as an international studentYou can
call the admissions office to find out if there's an alum in your area
who can interview you |
| Shadow |
what about MHC's exchange courses
with other colleges? |
| Janice |
btw, by essay, what do you mean?
English essays.. or other papers like chemistry, physics, etc.. which
are better? |
| MHCQimti |
I'm not sure that a budget would
allow us to appreciate your maturity and sophisticatiob of thought
appropriately. |
| Weiwei_Zhang |
really? |
| MHCAkriti |
we do have exchange programs with
other colleges/ universities
|
| Weiwei_Zhang |
i will try |
| MHCEmma |
Weiwei the admissions off no. is

yes aid is limited but as long as

I'd like to know what are the
chances of getting financial aid at MHC? |
| Weiwei_Zhang |
Does MHC provides high funds for
students |

What are the advantages of a women

nanditak - MHC meets the full
demonstrated need for more than 60% of students here |
| nanditak |
oh okay! that's a pretty high
proportion |
| luongnth |
My SAT score is 1970, is that
qualified enough? |
| Weiwei_Zhang |
cool |
| MHCAkriti |
We are a SAT optional school |
| luongnth |
I will take SAT II next month |

I went to a co-ed high school in

Oh, i see |
| MHCAkriti |
TOEFL is required for international
students |
|
Mymhc left. |
| MHCQimti |
Shadow, if you don't have a graded
English paper, we encourage you to send us a 2-5 page paper on a topic
of your choice. |
| Wang_Yingxue |
Could you give me some details? |
| nanditak |
could they be substituted by SAT
verbal/writing? |
| MHCEmma |
Besides, because of the 5 college
consortium, you actually do see boys around and can even have some in
your classes |

| MHCEmma |
janice waht was your question? |
| Janice |
what types of essays are expected in
a writing sample? |
| MHCAkriti |
the mean TOEFL score for the class
of 2011 was 279 |
| Weiwei_Zhang |
my toefl is just 94 |
| MHCQimti |
If you mean in terms of financial
aid Shadow, then yes! About 60% of students are offered aid equal to
full demostrated need! |
| nanditak |
and my question: can TOEFL be
substituted by SAT verbal/writing?
|
| Shadow |
cool |
| MHCEmma |
Any essay in english in that has
teacher remarks is good Janice |
| Shadow |
thanks so much! |
| Janice |
okay, thanks. |
| MHCAkriti |
no you must take the TOEFL nanditak |
| Lu_Yisi |
I would like to know what kind of
international students qualified for financial aid? Does the student
need a high SAT score or something else? |
| nanditak |
haha okay thanks =) |
| Wang_Yingxue |
Thank you,Emma!I really enjoy your
school's fascinating scenery. |
| Sunny_Xiong |
essay could be about any topic? |
| MHCObio |
nanditak, if you want to use the SAT
Critical Reading section in lieu of the TOEFL, then you will need to
submit scores of 600 or higher on the CR section |
| MHCQimti |
No problem! |
| MHCQimti |
Hi Xiangli, I'm well, and you? |
| nanditak |
oh that's great! |
| daniela_manolova |
What MHC looks for as you review a
student's application? And is there any advice that you can give us
that can increase our chances of being accepted? |
| MHCEmma |
Lu_Yisi - the financial aid
decisions are not made by the admissions office. the financial aid
office (which works on this) has no idea what your SAT scores are |
| chooi |
regarding the essay, what if i'm
doing a-levels and not taking english? can the essay be substituted
with something else? |
| luongnth |
What SAT subjects should I take? |

Weiwei_Zhang left. |
| xiangli |
Obio, i am pretty good. thanks. this
is my first college online chat. lol |

Hmm i have a suggestion - i'm doing
A levels and i used General Paper |
| MHCQimti |
Chooi, you do have to take the
General exam don't you? |
| MHCAkriti |
chooi, you must have written papers
for the general paper section right? |
| MHCObio |
chooi, your essay can be in a
variety of subjects |
| MHCEmma |
daniela - MHC reviews your
application holistically. So everything in your application is very
important |
| Janice |
oh, and did any of you current
students feel homesick when you first reached mhc, especially if
you're from outside US? |
| xiangli |
i have a question. i am more happy
with my SAT scores than the TOEFL, should i submit both? |
| MHCAkriti |
Yes Janice you do get homesick
initially |
| MHCEmma |
Your transcript is highly important
because it gives us a sense of how you have done over a 3 to 4 year
period. |
| MHCkrutika |
Yes Janice! I felt a little
homesick, but my homesickness wore away pretty quickly! |
|
Monica joined. |

Hi Moniza! |

What exactly is the adv of the 5
college consortium? It sounds pretty interesting! |
| MHCObio |
Yes, xiangli, you should submit them
both. The SAT, however, is optional |

I have a question. Could anyone help

In our country,we only have three
years for high school,is this a problem? |
| Janice |
krutika, it wore away pretty
quickly, may I know why? You made friends pretty quickly.. or..? |

No Wang. we only have 3 years of
high school in Ghana too and I'm here!! |

sinomhc joined. |

I have studied for SAT II. Should I
take any specific subjects? |
| Monica |
China, I guess Wang Yingxue is my

Yes I made really good friends
pretty quickly, they had a great International Students orientation
for us. |
| Wang_Yingxue |
Ah!You are from Ghana!Great
nation,great football! |
| MHCObio |
yes, xiangli, you can use a score of
600 or higher on the SAT CR to demonstrate your English proficiency
and waive the TOEFL requirement |
| MHCEmma |
luongnth take subjects you are
comfortable with and that will make your application strongest |
| Janice |
football! XD |
| Wang_Yingxue |
Hi!Monica:) |

Luongnth MHC is a SAT optional
school. |

i see. thanks a lot, obio |

We don't require you to take the
SATII. |
| MHCObio |
Yingxue and Monica, you two are in
the same school? |
| MHCkrutika |
Where all the international students
came in before the others, that helped. Plus once you get here you
have so many things to do, you might not have the time to feel
homesick! |
| sinomhc |
okay. What are the core qualities
you look for in the match applicant ??? |
| MHCEmma |
welcome thunguyen |

I am sorry. Could some one tall me
who are students and who are current students or AO? |

Will SAT score be used when evaluate
students with fin aid request |

so many participants! |
| Shadow |
nice! |

If you choose to take it and submit
your scores, its absolutely up to you to choose the subject. |
| Wang_Yingxue |
Yes.Monica is my good friend.:) |
| luongnth |
I just wonder |
| MHCQimti |
Although, the SAT II Writing score
may be used in place of the Tofel. |
| MHCObio |
which school |
| luongnth |
thunguyen, are you from VN too? |
| Janice |
I see.. thanks. ^_^ I'm afraid I
have another question, though. Is it alright to apply to MHC without
knowing what kind of major you want? |
| thunguyen |
yeah |
| MHCQimti |
The Financial Aid Office knows
nothing about SAT scores. |
| MHCEmma |
sinomhc - we don't look for any core
qualities. But MHC women are ususlly very confident women who have in
one way or another made a great impact on their community. |
| Shadow |
how about the mathematics in MHC? |
| nanditak |
I guess i'm in the same boat- i
haven't decided what i want to do! |
| Shadow |
i wanna know |
| luongnth |
are you Hanoian |
| MHCAkriti |
That is absolutely fine Janice. A
lot of students decide what they want to major in once they get to MHC |
| MHCQimti |
Their decisions are based entirely
on demonstrated need! |

Thanks Qimti |

We are known for a strong science
program |
| nanditak |
Hey sorry random question! What
documentation is required for applying for fin aid at MHC? |
| MHCQimti |
Lu-Yisi MHC does not have a business
major because it's a liberal arts school. |
| sinomhc |
Is self-designed major popular?And I
want to learn Pre-law . I wonder what's the most poplar major in MHC |
| MHCQimti |
But you do have the option of
designing your own major! |
| Lu_Yisi |
Dose that interesting! Right now I
am doing a budget for a program. |
| MHCEmma |
nanditak - the college board form
for international students. |
| Lu_Yisi |
So I think I would major in eco! |
| MHC_Liliya |
the Economics major is strong enough
to get you into business afterwards, if that is your interest |
| sinomhc |
is anyone here ready for pre-law |
| nanditak |
cool is that it? |

The seld designed major is pretty
popular. I think the most popular major might be International
Relations. |
| Monica |
could we go to work after four year
college, or it is better to apply for graduate programs? |

Liliya, do you study eco right now
in MHC? |

okay, thanks. |

Yes Xiangli you can major in IR! |

emphasize the career orientation we filled out in the Commonapp. If
somone fills in a rather more popular major or undecided , how will
this affect her application ? |

I would very much like to know more
about it? |

sinomhc, it will not adversely
affect her application. we admit students based on their
accomplishments, not their future career goals. MHC women go on to do
a wide variety of things and so it's importnat that we have women with
varried interests here |

Xiong the SAT scores are optional.
You can send them in if you feel they are going to make your
application stronger. |

Hi,Emma!I wonder if there are any
theater clubs. |
| xiangli |
could someone tell me what kind of
program is special for students who like study economics or IR? |
| sinomhc |
And also, for those attended or
currently attending mhc, Do you have heavy course load and what
influnce you to apply to mhc |
| sinomhc |
Do you look for students i mean intl
students who come from a particular ethnic or cultural background
|
| sinomhc |
will mhc balance the students's
ethnic by increasing or decreasing the amount of students from a
specific country every year?like u enrolled so many chinese students
in the previous year |
| MHCQimti |
Xiangli you could double major in IR
and economics. |
| MHCEmma |
Wang, MHC has a strong theater
department and a lot of students who are interested in theater |
| nanditak |
Hey emma may i ask - can we submit
both a peer and parent review for the app? |
| Wang_Yingxue |
Great!Cool! |
| xiangli |
thats awesome. thanks qimti! |
| MHCQimti |
And you could also design you own
major to combine the two in a way that caters to your interests. |
| MHCEmma |
i don't kow of any particular

Wang-everything in your application
is important. we look at your application holistically. e.g. your
tanscripts are important because they show us how you have done over a
3 to 4 year period |
|
Wang_Yingxue joined. |
| MHCEmma |
your essays are also important
because they help us see your writting strength (writting is very
important here).... and the list goes on |

and get the program approved by the

will the application in ED be looked

i want to ask about the writing
sample too. is it strictly required? for sudents in Vienam we dont
have that writing sample, so what should we do? |
| Zhuxuan_Zhao |
my teachers can write the
recommendation letters in English, is a chinese transcript still
needed? |
| MHCAkriti |
the application is read the same way
shadow |
| MHCEmma |
not neccessarily. A student who
can't get in RD will not get in ED. however because slightly fewer
people apply the acceptance rate is slightly higher. but this
difference is very slight... |
| Shadow |
ok |

thanks ! |

Zhuxuan-send us an chinese

write Chinese so if tha'ts the only option that is also fine |

My form teacher even doesn't have

| Zhuxuan_Zhao |
Is counselor a profession in america |
| MHCkrutika |
abby when you apply you can send in
your transcripts, based on the work you've done in your first year the
college will determine whether you can transfer your credits here or
waive them |
| Wang_Yingxue |
Emma,is there any risk of doing so?I
mean will you think that I am lying. |
| MHCEmma |
daniela - a lot of corporate firms
recruit from MHC; the career development center works hard to helps a
lot in this |
| thunguyen |
luongnth, i am at the same situation |
| MHC_Liliya |
a councelor is a person who helps
you with the application process |
| MHCEmma |
Wang- i don't understand your
question |
| MHC_Liliya |
if it is not typical in your school,
you could point a teacher who knows you well as your councelor - who
knows your activities, college aspirations, etc. |
| Wang_Yingxue |
I mean could I really call my
headteacher the guidence counselor. |

recommendation for you |

You mean I could send another

Do you accept additional essays? |
| Radha_Venkatraman |
Hi |
| MHCEmma |
Abigail - what do you mean by
current admissions processes? |
| MHC_Liliya |
i would say, as fewer students from
wester europe apply for studies in the U.S. in general |
| LLL |
I am from china but studying in UK |
| MHCObio |
LLL, there are several possible
reasons. Partly the cost because students from many EU countries can
attend universities over there for much cheaper if they are EU
citizens |
| Abigail_Alloye |
i mean what are some of your
admission processes |
| Radha_Venkatraman |
Is it difficult for girls who have
studied in coed schools to adjust to mhc |
| MHCEmma |
Wang - we ask for a graded sample
outside of the regular essays. You can send aodditinal essays, but
keep in mind that our admissions director will be reading thousands of
applications |
| magicghunney |
What exactly do you look for in the
essays |
| Wang_Yingxue |
What is a graded sample? |

Abigail - perhaps you could give me
some examples of admissions processes you know of (from other
schools)? that will give me a sense of what you mean by admissiosn

14%. |

magicghunney, we are looking for
students who write well, that is why we require several essays. the
curriculum is writing-intensive here, meaning that regardless of your
major or class department, you will have to do lots of writing and it
will be held to high standards by the professors. So, app |
