<p>I am glad you are visiting Sarah Lawrence in the spring. It is quite beautiful that time of year with everything in bloom. I would say, make sure you visit the whole campus. Our tour guide was a student and it was a hot summer day, so we only saw a small part of the campus. Make sure you go into the town of Bronxville and have lunch. It is a great little town and the train station is very close to campus, which is great when you want to take the short ride into the city. I am not sure what your interests are, but check out all of the facilities. The dorms are not the greatest and we had been to some beautiful campuses, so my daughter was not thrilled at the time. Now she loves it, even though the living arrangements are not the best. She loves the faculty, the challenge and there are lots of creative thinkers there, just like her. I am sure that this school is not for everyone. Make sure you see the school while students are there. There are many artsy looking kids as opposed to preppy, etc.</p>
<p>It would be difficult to say what got my daughter admitted. She had off the chart SAT scores, but Sarah Lawrence didn’t see them. Her grades were not the greatest, but her courses in HS were more than rigorous. She submitted a portfolio of her works.
She is a writer and pretty talented, if I may say so. Good recommendations, etc. Just put your best foot forward.</p>
