A 2022 graduate of
Zurich International School in Switzerland, Sarah will attend Santa Clara University. Multiple factors influenced Olivia's decision to enroll, including the SCU community and academic choices that are offered.
"I enjoy the smaller university atmosphere and the ability to feel part of a community at the university. I also have heard positive things about the business school at SCU and although am majoring in a different subject, would like to see the possibilities of transferring over to a business degree. I've also heard several positive experiences other students, parents and university counselors have shared at SCU," she shared.
At Santa Clara University, Sarah will pursue a major in Communications. She shared that her future career plans are "to find a career in either journalism or working in a social media, marketing position."
We asked Sarah:
What aspect of your college/university are you most excited about?
I most excited for the new experience of living in another country, quite far from home, delving into a major I'm passionate and excited to learn about. I'm also excited to feel part of a community in which faith, diversity, and togetherness is a top priority.
What advice would you share with with soon-to-be high school seniors as they begin their senior year in the fall?
Start as early as you can with the process, and start writing application essays as soon as you can.
What is one fun fact about you?
I collect piggy banks.
