WPS Class of 2025 Jumpstart College Application Process

8/20/2024

Berlin, MD – On August 12, the Worcester Prep Class of 2025 hit the ground running in preparation for their college application season this fall.

Rising seniors attended a four-day College Application & Essay Writing Workshop held in the Guerrieri Library, hosted by the WPS Office of College Counseling. The students worked one-on-one with the WPS Director of College Counseling, Ms. Vickie Garner, writing and reviewing college applications and essays, refining their college lists, and navigating the scholarship search process.

Additionally, college admissions representatives shared expertise and practical advice with seniors regarding the importance of effective communication with colleges and how to tell their stories through authentic and well-written personal statements. Senior Associate Director of Admissions at College of Charleston Rebecca Drewry and Admissions Counselor at the University of Delaware Dan Hammer also conducted mock interviews with students.

Founded in 1970, WPS is a private, independent Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 School, located in Berlin, Maryland. Approximately 500 students from Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia attend. For more information about WPS, please visit www.worcesterprep.org or call 410.641.3575.
