Scholar Feedback:
This lab helped me so much! One of my favorite activities was learning about the common data set. I have a much better understanding on class rank, GPA and test scores. I also really liked the introduction activity. I was really scared about meeting my admission’s officers. Now I know what information to have when talking to them. I feel a lot more confident after attending this lab!
