Alumni Profile: Recent Tartan Graduates Reflect on St. Margaret’s and Their College Preparation

St. Margaret’s Classes of 2021 and 2020 had very successful college admission experiences and outcomes despite new considerations and uncertainties caused by the pandemic. Students engaged in a thoughtful search process and utilized new virtual tools to explore prospective colleges and universities. Guided by the expertise of the college counseling team, students focused on the very personal process of finding the match that has always been the hallmark of St. Margaret’s college counseling program.
