More Applicants Making MHC Their First-Choice College

Although the final application deadline isn't until January 15, the MHC class of 2001 is already starting to take shape. According to director of admissions Anita Smith, Early Decision I applications are up 66 percent over last year's total. That means 116 women (as opposed to seventy last year) named MHC their first-choice college by the December 1 deadline. Early Decision II applications were due January 1, but comparative figures were not available at the CSJ's press time.

The increase in Early Decision I applicants is good news for the College, Smith said, but does not necessarily predict an overall rise in applications.
