Why I Applied
Early Decision

by Samantha Yeider '12
Wheaton, IL
Potential Major: History

For me, Gettysburg was love at first sight. As soon as I stepped on campus I knew that it was the place for me.  After visiting many more colleges, large and small, I could see that none could compare.

When it came time to sending out applications, Gettysburg was at the top of my list, but I never thought about applying Early Decision until my parents mentioned it- two days before the application was due. So, the next day I scurried around trying to get the forms signed and faxed it to the Admissions office the night before.

It was a relief to know what school I was going to attend and I didn't have the stress that my friends had. I was able to relax and enjoy my senior year in high school.

My experience at Gettysburg College so far has been amazing. The campus is beautiful, the professors are fun and insightful, and the students are friendly.
