hey! I’m a rising high school senior (c/o 2027). As junior year ends, I’ve been highly considering this school to be my top choice in applying this fall. Im looking to major in both history and literature with the intention of being pre-law. Would any alumni or current students be willing to give me any insight or advice? Not just those within those majors ofc! If you want my stats I can share those as well. Thank you!
