College Spotlight: Susquehanna University

By DEC Network On February 16, 2010 · Add Comment

I met recently with Katie Jordan Warmington, Associate Director of New England Admissions for a delicious lunch and informative update on Susquehanna’s college profile. A beautiful and historic liberal arts college located on 300 acres in Selinsburg, Pennsylvania, Susquehanna offers its 2,000 plus students over sixty academic majors/minors within three schools: Sigmund Weis School of Business, the School of Arts, and the School of Natural and Social Sciences. There are no graduate students on campus so professors (92% PhD or highest equivalent) are focused entirely on the undergrads. And, in addition to classroom study, students are encouraged to include internships, “faculty mentored” research, and study abroad as part of their learning experience. Pre-professional programs for the career minded range from ministry and dentistry to teaching, veterinary medicine and law. Over 80% of Susquehanna’s student population lives on campus with access to excellent facilities such as the performance/recital hall, fitness center, art gallery, recreational center and much more. Athletes compete in the Landmark Conference and Liberty League with 23 Division III varsity sports as well as several club and intramural options. The average admissions profile of a Susquehanna student: 3.25 GPA, 530-610 SAT/math and 520-610 SAT/critical reading. Not a great test taker? The “Write Option” allows an applicant to substitute required test scores with two graded writing samples. To learn more about what Susquehanna offers, go to www.susqu.edu or contact Katie directly at jordank@susqu.edu.

“I truly felt that you treated my daughter as your own child, ascertaining every step of the way what the right course of action would be for her and where she would be happiest. Something that at first seemed daunting gradually unfolded into a fun adventure. We are left with wonderful memories and a very exciting future.”

“Debbie Davis was exceptionally helpful to me in my college search process. She made me feel like the most important client of hers despite having other students in the same position as me. I went into the process confused and worried about my future and came out prepared and accepted into college. I wish everyone who is going through the college process could have Mrs. Davis as their college advisor.”

“Thank you for all you do for our family. Your support, professionalism, positive attitude and many, many hours of work have helped us all so much. Your efforts will continue to make such a difference in our lives for a long, long time.”

“Our son really respects and values your opinions, and you have been so good about empowering him and making the final decision his own. He is thrilled about his offer which he accepted yesterday; his top choice. I want you to know how grateful we are to you. You have been a crucial part of our boys’ lives.”

“We worked with Debbie to guide us through the college review, selection and application process for our son. We could not have been happier. She established and kept us on a proactive and tight timeline resulting in completion of the process well in advance, relieving us of most of the turmoil, anxiety and stress associated with launching a child into college. She is now guiding our second through the journey.”

“Debbie has been a tremendous help throughout my search for employment. She advises on all aspects of the job search process from cover letter, to resume, to interviewing skills to correspondence etiquette. She stresses the importance of organization, positive attitude and endless commitment. Debbie is a great mentor and I am extremely appreciative of everything she has done to help me with my job search.”

“With the help of Debbie Davis, I was able to narrow down a college list that included schools I hadn’t thought of applying to before, draft sincere college essays that were representative of my life experiences and plans, and, ultimately, get into my dream school. I am happier than ever with my college choice, and that is all thanks to Debbie Davis. Thank you, Debbie, for changing my life!”

“Hey Ms. Davis, I got into college with a Presidential Scholarship last night! I hear about the Honors program and the 5 year MBA in March. Thanks so much for everything you did for me. I really appreciate it.”

“You listened, customized your responses to meet my needs and checked in with me to make sure that you understood what I was saying and that I understood what you were suggesting. You made a chore and fear of the unknown into something positive.”

“The absolute best thing about Debbie Davis was that she kept me organized and on track with my college forms, essays and applications. I was on top of my college work at all times. My essays were completed months before their deadline. She saved me from any unnecessary stress in my senior year. Thank you, Mrs. Davis- my senior year has been amazing.”

“There are questions that come up every day, (it seems), and it calms me to know you are always there for me. Your support of the boys runs deep- your positive and fun attitude- your cards- your expertise- and now your true interest in their future. I am grateful for all you do for us.”

“I have to tell you, working with you has been so inspiring. I’m transitioning back into the working world (I am interviewing now) and watching your energy and how you run your business makes me so excited to jump back in. Thanks again for all of your compassion with the kids, your enthusiasm, and expertise.”

“Thank you for the beautiful, encouraging note you sent. I don’t know if you do that kind of thing for all of your students, but it is an outstanding touch and I applaud your style!”

“You are such a cheery and positive spirit–just what we needed! You have made all of my kids recognize their potential and believe in it themselves! What a gift you are. Thanks for all the encouragement and guidance. We look forward to continuing this journey with you.”

“Our experience with Debbie Davis was one of total satisfaction. She spent hours explaining to us every facet of the college search. Her attention to detail, her positive and enthusiastic personality, and her accurate knowledge of her business is impressive.”

“I committed to college today! The campus was absolutely gorgeous, the dorms were incredibly impressive, I love the atmosphere and environment of the school and was just overwhelmed with everything they offered. Thank you so much for all of the help you’ve been over the past year. I’m so happy with where I’m ending up and really appreciate everything you’ve done.”

“I am truly grateful for your genuine commitment and enthusiasm working with me and all of your clients. It is amazing seeing that everything we worked so hard on together finally paid off. And I am forever thankful for the bond we share 🙂 other than my parents, you were my biggest supporter and really made me understand the value of my achievements as a student and a person.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your invaluable assistance over the past four years. It seems like …

“We cannot thank you enough for guiding our child and us through one of the most important exercises in her life, and teaching her the importance of preparation. Many thanks also for your warm personal focus and outstanding professionalism.”
