My daughter got accepted to Holy Cross last year and decided that was the place she wanted to be for the next four years.
So far, she liked everything about the school. She had made more than 100 friends in less than a month. Everyone is so nice and willing to help each other.
Academic is some what challenging, especially pre-med track. If you are not 100% sure that you want to go to medical school after graduation, I suggest you don’t apply to pre-med program or biology major because it will be harder for you to get in. You can always apply after your first semester. With a pre-med program, the school will pre-register all your classes including required Montserrat seminar, Calculus, Biology w/ Lab, and Chemistry w/ Lab. My daughter’s roommate is a pre-med major, but after 3 weeks of classes she decided to drop biology class because she thinks it’s too stressful.
My daughter plans to major in Economics. So far all the classes are manageable. She also work 5 hours a week and involved in couple of school activities. If you can manage your time well, you should be able to handle it.
Professors at Holy Cross are very helpful. My daughter goes to professor’s office hours at least once a week. They try very hard to help every student to succeed. Overall, if you like Holy Cross, definitely apply. Wish you best of luck!
BTW, we are Asians too!
