<p>Hi,
I have twin daughters that are interested in SJU but we have not been able to schedule a trip to PA yet. We live in CT and would want to have more than 1 day there. Since that doesn't seem possible until next year, would it hurt them to apply and go visit after they get an admissions decision? I'm sure SJU has admitted student days, but I wouldn't want it to reflect on a lack of interest.
They are interested in Bio, Business and English between them. </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Being so far away, I understand that you haven’t had a chance to visit campus yet. We will not hold it against your daughters that they have not visited. Our opportunities for admitted students are more in depth than the standard Discover SJU day, which is an admission presentation then a campus tour. All admitted students are invited to our Admitted Students Day, which is similar to an Open House. Whats even better, in my opinion, is our Campus Experience Days. On these the students get paired up with one of our current students and they shadow them for the day. They’ll go to class, eat lunch on campus, and get a feel for what a typical day is like. These will be during school week, whereas the Admitted Students Day will be on a weekend. Its up to you which one would be best for your daughters if and when they visit SJU. Either way they will learn a lot about SJU. My advice would be to go ahead and apply in Early Action; if and when your daughters are accepted this will give you a bigger time frame to set up one of these visits in the spring.</p>
<p>Thank you, the Campus Experience Days sound great. I will pass the info on.</p>
<p>Debruns definitely visit soon! I went to an Open House at SJU last year with my family and it was awesome! The campus is beautiful and everyone there is so helpful.</p>
<p>SJU admissions I am a high school teacher in California and recently a student (JR) mentioned an interest in SJU to me. His CR scores are in your mid 50% but math is below, he plans to retake but I wanted to know if you take geographic diversity into account. This young man is from a rural public with under 500 students.</p>
<p>If you can advise that would be wonderful. Thank you!</p>
<p>We do consider geographic diversity when we look at applications. Like most schools, we actively ‘recruit’ and market ourselves to students from all across the country and the world. Good luck to the student on increasing his math score. Students typically boost their scores on their second attempt so he should feel confident.</p>
