We are prepared to warmly welcome all Sweet Briar current and accepted students to the Notre Dame community.<br /><br />We are dismayed by the closing of any women’s college. At the same time, we are heartened that Notre Dame is a thriving institution, with a vibrant Women’s College of more than 500 young women, situated within an expanding co-educational University.<br /><br />Transformation is the lifeblood of Notre Dame. Our ability to evolve—to nimbly address changing educational and marketplace needs—has enabled us to maintain and strengthen the strong core of our Women’s College while expanding into a University that includes adult undergraduate, as well as graduate and professional programs offering degrees from bachelor’s to doctorate.<br /><br />Our Women’s College is thriving. This past fall, we welcomed our largest incoming Women’s College class in seven years. Over the past five years, the Women’s College has seen an 11% growth in enrollment and a 16% growth in retention. Our 85% retention rate—significantly higher than the national average of 68%—is testament to the fact that our students are immersed in their academic and co-curricular experiences and enjoy living and studying in a close-knit academic community situated in the midst of a thriving city offering countless social, cultural, recreational, and internship and job opportunities. This boost has not been achieved by lowering admission standards. Rather, the academic profile of the student body has strengthened, as demonstrated by an increase of approximately 60 points in SAT scores among incoming freshmen.<br /><br />There are many reasons for our success, and they are as strong as our 120-year history—a history marked by our willingness to “trust and dare;” by our ability to be “fearless and faithful.” They embody the essence of who we are, and express our staunch commitment to the value of our Women’s College, and women’s colleges everywhere.<br /><br />See Sweet Briar Sisters: Find your new home at NDMU! <a href="http://www.ndm.edu/admissions/womens-college/sweet-briar-students/" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.ndm.edu/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>admissions/womens-college/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>sweet-briar-students/</a></span></div>

<h2>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Filing the FAFSA</span></h2>
<div>
The deadline to file the FAFSA for Notre Dame of Maryland University is February 15, the day after <b><span style="color: #e06666;">Valentine's Day</span></b>. We ask you to do this early so that we have ample to process it, help you correct any errors, and create a financial aid package for you. Every school you include on the FAFSA may give you a slightly different package. To include NDMU, use the code 002065.<br />
<br />
Your financial aid package from Notre Dame of Maryland University might include grants, loans, and federal work-study.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #38761d;">What if it's not enough?</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
<div>
We work very closely with you to help you understand your financial aid package and determine the actual cost of attendance. The most important aspect of the financial aid process is open communication between you and your family and admissions and the office of financial aid. NDMU has an excellent financial aid website with an abundance of resources: <a href="http://www.ndm.edu/admissions/financial-aid/">www.ndm.edu/admissions/financial-aid/</a></div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
Don't forget to keep applying to external scholarships, even if they are small. All of that money adds up and can make a difference. You can find a list <a href="http://www.ndm.edu/files/resources/ext-scholarships-for-hs-students-1415.pdf" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a>.</div>

Another great resource for finding additional aid for in-state students is the Maryland Higher Education Commision, or MHEC. You can find a list of what they offer<b> <a href="http://www.mhec.state.md.us/financialAid/descriptions.asp" target="_blank">here</a>.</b></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>We found this article online and thought there were some great tips for students who are going into their senior year. Thanks to www.unidgo.com for the "To Do" list item below.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1) Think about and outline a college essay. As more and more
schools sign onto the Common Application (over 400 colleges use it now), it's
safe to say you'll apply to one that uses it for their admissions process. For
this reason, you can get a jump start on writing your essay now.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">2) Make a list of the qualities you desire in a college.
Everyone knows that college isn't all about hitting the books. So, what other
qualities are you looking for in a college? There's many to research: city
versus rural life, athletics, the quality of facilities and the tastiness of
dining hall food, famous professors, the strength of a potential major, among
many others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3) Develop your personal interests. Colleges want you to be
passionate about something. Take extra guitar lessons, join a summer soccer
league, go on extra camping trips-all you have to do is demonstrate your
interests. Admission officers love well-rounded people who can bring something
unique to campus. A personal interest may help you stand out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">4) Work to improve your standardized test scores. If your
scores are not in a school's 50% range, you may want to retake the SAT and/or
ACT in the fall. To do better, you must develop a proper study plan. There are
practice questions on <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/">www.collegeboard.com</a>
that you should start with. After tackling these, think about going to the
library to rent one of their books, or purchase one from your local bookstore.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">5) Take summer classes at a local college/university.
Enrolling in summer courses can work to your advantage if you're a straight A
student or if your grades are weak. Either way, doing well in these courses
will show admission officers that you're capable of being an academic success
at their school. Doing this will only increase your chance of being accepted to
a "reach" school or obtaining a lucrative scholarship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">6) Practice your interview skills. If you're shooting for a
top ten school, or if your GPA and SAT scores are at the lower end of your
dream school's applicant pool, an interview moves from being an option to a
requirement for you. And you must perform well when meeting with an alumni
representative or admission counselor. Setting up one or two mock interviews
with your parents, a teacher, your college counselor, a friend, or a sibling
can be a very beneficial thing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">7) Volunteer. Admission counselors are looking for certain
personality traits, compassion being one of the most important. Colleges want
good people on their campuses; nothing says benevolent and selfless better than
volunteering some time in a nursery home or at a local animal shelter. Check
Idealist.org to see if there are any volunteering opportunities in your area,
or just call a local nursing home, community center, animal shelter, or other
non-profit to see if they need any help. Chances are they do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">8) Visit at least two or three colleges. Although the campus
won't be bustling with activity since students are home for the summers, visiting
college campuses during the summer can be very rewarding. Being on a large
state university feels much different than being at a small liberal arts
college. Use these summer visits to figure out what kind of college you want to
attend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">9) Think about potential careers. This isn't entirely
necessary, since most people have no clue what they want to do for the rest of
their lives…at the age of 17! But, if you've never thought about it, putting
some time into thinking about careers that match your interests can't hurt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">10) Get to know your personal admissions
counselor. Let’s face it, apply to
college isn’t easy. Why not make connections with your own personal admissions counselor
to have them been your advocate throughout the process! Unsure of who your admissions counselor is?

don’t want to look back upon your experience and wish you would have dragged
yourself from your room? Would you? Go to the welcoming activities, say ‘hello’
to those you pass in the hall and be open to making new friends! Get out of
your room and explore! After all, college is more fun when you have friends to
experience it with you! <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

either. But we have received a few notes from residents that tell us that they
enjoy chatting with me or that I was their favorite part of moving to college,
and those residents made the most unbearable nights worth it in the end. Your
RA is fountain of knowledge about your school, they have taken a lot of the
classes you need to take and they know about a lot of resources on campus. Go
to them and ask them questions when you have them, they want to talk to you and

multiple programs that offer free tutoring for different subjects and majors.

<br />
That elephant in the room is getting larger--it's almost time to head back to school. It's here, we said it. Are you worried that you haven't made the most of your summer vacation days yet? Not to fear, we have a great list of things for you to do in the weeks ahead that will gear you up to head into your senior year as prepared as possible!<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>First, draft your student resume</strong>. </li>
<ul>
<li>Don't worry, this is not something that will take a ton of time, nor does it need to be super business-like. Rather, just be sure to list all of those activities that you have been a part of both inside and outside of school for your high school years. </li>
<li>Most schools don't require a resume but will accept one--this helps us to learn more about you so why wouldn't you want to submit one?</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Visit the schools that you want to apply to in the fall!</strong> </li>
<ul>
<li>Summer is great for vacation but why not add a week's worth of college touring to the agenda? Come visit our campus and meet with your one-on-one personal admissions counselor who will be your advocate throughout the application process.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Do your homework!</strong> </li>
<ul>
<li>That's right we said it. You might be out of school but there is always work to be done! </li>
<li>Apply for external scholarships. Search them out-- and remember <strong>never pay to apply for scholarships-- they will always be free!</strong> </li>
<li>Check out websites like wwww.fastweb.com that will send you weekly emails with scholarships that apply for you!</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Start thinking about who can write your letter of recommendation.</strong></li>
<ul>
<li>Draft up a letter to submit to your favorite Math, Science, or English teacher. Submit this letter to them, along with your student resume on the first day of classes. Chances are you'll be the only person to request this letter this year in the school year and they'll be able to personalize the letter even more since they have a copy of your student resume!</li>
</ul>
</ul>
Alright, we think that's enough "To Do's" for now...keep us posted on your progress-- and remember hop to it...the first day of your senior year is right around the corner!<br />

Marylou Yam, Ph.D., Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at
Saint Peter's University in New Jersey, has been named President of our
University, effective July 1, 2014!<br />

Affairs.<br />

As the first woman in the history of Saint Peter’s to serve as Dean

Today the Athletics Department unveiled our brand new Gator Mascot, Gabby and the Baltimore Oriole was here to help welcome her to campus! She cheers at all of our athletic events and sometimes makes appearances at other events as well.<br />

It is said that in the 1900s, a rather eccentric student kept one as a pet in her bathtub in Meletia. For the record, alligators are no longer on the approved list of acceptable pets for obvious safety concerns. The campus voted on both her look and name last Spring. She now wears a white NDMU Athletic T-shirt and blue basketball shorts. <br />

<br />
<br />
<img alt="Image: School of Education 2014 Speaker Series features author &amp; naturalist Richard Louv" src="http://www.ndm.edu/files/features/lrg_louv5.jpg" />One of the best things about college is that education is not limited to the classes that you take. At Liberal Arts institutions, like Notre Dame, there is an emphasis on interdisciplinary education, or education that goes beyond your specific major. Our school recognizes that to really be an educated person, you must knowledgeable about topics outside your focus. This is why a Biology major is required to take an art course and a philosophy student has to take a history course. <br />
<br />
This full and rich education is what makes a person dynamic! A person who is educated through the liberal arts is the person who can talk knowledgeably about current events, how it relates to history, the impact it might have on the economy and how popular culture is an expression of the human experience during this time. This is the person who is able to adjust to an ever shifting job landscape because they see how the world is connected and can make use of those connections to stay flexible. <br />
<br />
Besides requiring students to take classes in all the fields of discipline, Notre Dame also hosts various lectures that are open to the whole campus and public. It centers around a theme and is presented by a knowledgeable speaker. This is a chance to explore a topic that does not (on the surface) seem related to person's major or career but is in fact, a topic that is of importance to us all.<br />
<br />
Next Tuesday the 18th at 7 pm, Richard Louv will be coming to campus to speak on the "Nature Movement", which is response to our our highly technology enriched lives. The lecture is sponsered by the Education department but is open to the entire campus and public.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in attending, contact your admissions counselor or register <a href="http://www.ndm.edu/academics/school-of-education/school-of-education-speaker-series/" target="_blank">here</a>. It is a free event.

You have less than two weeks to file your FAFSA! The 15<sup>th</sup>
is Notre Dame’s priority deadline which means that you will be in the first
wave of students to be considered for financial aid. To receive any aid form
the state of Maryland your FAFSA must be received by the Maryland Higher
Education Commission by March 1, 2014. Click here for more information<span style="color: red;">: </span><a href="http://www.ndm.edu/admissions/financial-aid/how-to-apply/">http://www.ndm.edu/admissions/financial-aid/how-to-apply/</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While file early? Well, why wait? The earlier you file, the
earlier you will receive your complete financial aid letter Once you have your
complete financial aid letter, you will be able to see what each college you
have applied to is going to cost. Until you know, it’s hard to make an informed
decision of where to attend. You also want to file early so you don’t miss out
on any money. There are a lot of students who seek financial aid f<span style="color: red;">ro</span>m the government and once it’s gone, it’s gone. You
want to be first in line! Thirdly, you want to file early for the sake of
convenience. No one needs the stress of running around trying to find all the
necessary documents and fill out all the forms two days before it’s due. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So take some time this weekend, sit down with your parents
or guardians and fill out your FAFSA. Then you can spend some time researching
the perfect bedding set for your future dorm room!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you have any questions, contact your admissions counselor
or the Office of Financial Aid at 410-532-5369 or <a href="mailto:finaid@ndm.edu">finaid@ndm.edu</a> There is still time to set up a
personal appointment and work one-on-one with a financial aid staff member.</div>

<br /><div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">This is a
wonderful time to visit college campuses. Although many of the current
students are off campus (our students are on break from December 16<sup>th</sup>
until January 27<sup>th</sup>) the admissions office is still open. It
is always suggested that once you know what schools have accepted you to
visit or spend the night at your favorites before making your decision.
However, it can be difficult to schedule
those visits in the final months leading up to graduation. Why not
visit now while you have no school to worry about? </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">What are some benefits to visiting during winter break and early January?</span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10.0pt;">·</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 7.0pt;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">There are more appointment times available because you’re visiting during a relatively quiet</span><span style="color: red; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">time of the year.

</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10.0pt;">·</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 7.0pt;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">After
New Years is over, many faculty and staff return to campus to plan for
the coming semester which means your admissions counselor can arrange
for you to meet with a professor
in your major, or a coach. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10.0pt;">·</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 7.0pt;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Almost all current students are on break so it is easier to schedule an appointment with the Financial Aid office.
</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>

</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">It
is a less stressful time for you to visit. You are either on break or
just started the new school year so you don’t have any major assignments
due yet. Take advantage of
this brief calm!</span></li>

Merry Christmas from the Women's College Admissions Team!<br />
<br />
The University is closed Monday the 23rd- Friday the 27th. Feel free to email us during this time and we will respond during the New Year. Notre Dame of Maryland University Admissionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02206405028925728851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7680585467251252582.post-8678864550754636592013-12-18T09:34:00.002-08:002013-12-18T09:36:04.614-08:00Finish and Follow Up<div class="MsoNormal">
It is that time
of year when we give thanks for all that we have and to look forward to a
new year, which for our high school seniors includes graduation and
their first year at college. With classes finishing
up and winter break so close, we know all you want to do is grab some
hot chocolate and sleep all day;
but you need to ask yourself two very important questions before you take that well deserved break!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Have you finished all your applications?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sounds like a
silly question but it’s worth asking. Fall is a crazy time and maybe you
only had time to get out 4 applications but there were 3 other schools
you also wanted to apply for. Now is your chance,
most schools are still accepting applications but the longer you wait, the less chance you have to get choice scholarships!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Have you followed up with the schools you have submitted applications to?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Have you talked
to your admissions counselor within the past two weeks? If not pick up
the phone right now! Although you may feel like you are all done because
you hit the submit button on your application
you still have to follow up to ensure your application is complete.
Your admissions counselor might still be waiting for test scores or
waiting for letters of recommendations or transcripts. If you don’t
follow up to ensure your application is complete, it
may delay your acceptance or keep you from being accepted. It is best
to find out what is missing now because it will be very difficult to get
in contact with people once winter break is in session and you don’t
want to wait till the New Year to get that missing
piece in to your counselor. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And once you have confirmed you are all done you can truly relax and wait for your acceptance letters to arrive.What a nice Christmas present that would be!</div>
