Hi! I’m a current junior in an online school in Wisconsin. I’m 365 days a year involved in theater with an edge in classical. I also costumes apprentice and apprentice direct. Outside of theater I’m a Girl Scout, a dedicated student and am part of an outreach group that performs scenes of Shakespeare at schools around my community.
Anyway, I am currently up to my neck in college searching. I’ve already decided that I want to double major in Psychology and Theater, so I’ve been looking at schools that have very strong - incredible - theater and psychology programs. A few months ago I stumbled across Muhlenberg, and I’ve fallen completely in love with it. Granted, I haven’t visited it yet (I’m going to be visiting in and am going to set up an interview for April), but I’ve been doing very thorough research and love what I find. Every day since then I’ve been studying it’s website, these forums, anything I can find. The info I requested from them should be coming soon as well. Everything I’ve found has made me love it more and more.

Does anyone have any personal experience (either from going here or having a kid go here) with Muhlenberg? Because I’ve really fallen in love with this place and - if I still feel this way after seeing the campus - may actually apply early decision.

I guess I want to know (as someone that isn’t actually visiting for a couple months) if this school is worth it to apply early decision and go to. Also, do you have any advice that would really make me stand out in the Muhlenberg application/audition process? :)
