The College of the Holy Cross was the 5th and final school I visited during my Worcester visit. It’s a beautiful but hilly campus with 2800 undergraduates. 56% are female (they would like to be 50/50), 16 % are minority, 88% graduate within 4 years. Most students stay on campus on weekends, attending their Div 1A sporting events, dances or movies. There is a lot of school spirit here even after graduation as evidenced by their strong alumni network.
Pre Med/Bio is a popular major as is theatre. More than 1/3 spend their junior year abroad or in DC or NYC. SAT’s are optional. HC looks for students in the top quarter of their class and does keep track of how much interest a prospective student shows. Which means, if you are interested in attending HC, be sure to visit.
