READING (Laughs) Wow! Mostly a lot of cases and I just finished Wuthering Heights. But, I started it over Thanksgiving.

EATING A lot of sushi from the sushi counter in Spangler. I also make a ton of soup and chili in the fall and live on it through the year! And, not a day goes by without chocolate.

PLANNING Right now, I am figuring out what to wear for the Newport Ball, figuring out my summer more and planning on a big adventure after school with my classmates and my sister....location is still TBD.

DREAMING Of a day when I can wake up without an alarm clock — which hopefully will happen this summer. I am also really excited about next year — it's taking all of my mind space and imagination.

ANYTHING ELSE I just want to share one story. My laptop got stolen in late September and I was hysterical. Besides losing my computer, I lost all my schoolwork and my entire recipe collection. This was at 5pm. At 8am the next day, my section presented me with a brand new MacBook Air and a thumb drive with all of their family recipes. That incident endeared this place and these people to me as my family who are there in good times and in bad.

12:00 Noon Eastern Time is the official deadline, but the reality is that we'll keep the system open into the evening and we'll be understanding about late recommendations. As always, we begin reading applications the very next day (not before!) and will read your application if at least one recommendation has been received.

We'll be sending out interview invitations in two waves this round, April 17 and 24. Candidates not being invited to interview will be notified of their release on April 24. Interviews will be conducted only here on campus - no hub city interviews - and by Skype, if necessary. Dates will be May 4, 7, 10 and 11. Note: We hope and expect to see applications from college seniors for the 2+2 Program. We know that you are likely to be in exams during our interview dates. We will make accommodations on a case-by-case basis...so don't worry.

As always, I hope this is helpful.
