We’ve been in your shoes, sifting through a mountain of viewbooks from countless competing universities — all promising small class sizes, of course.You’re buried in endless comparisons of minimum SAT scores, student-to-faculty ratios, and pretty campuses. All of which start to look very similar very quickly. Here’s the simple truth: A good student will do well at any school. But what transforms good students into great learners, great thinkers, and great people are caring, involved, compassionate professors who treat students as equals and challenge them to strive toward greater accomplishments. t a small university ke ours, class never ems to end. Founded in 1933,Wilkes University is a private, non-denominational university nestled within 27 acres of historic Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Sure, we’re proud of our statistics, and there are a few you should know. Like the fact that we’re selective (620 freshmen in 2007). Or that our alumni are successful (99% of our May graduates will have a job or enroll in graduate school by next May.) But what sets us apart from the other colleges you’re considering can’t be measured by numbers on a page.You will succeed at Wilkes because of our unique atmosphere and philosophy.We have one of the most dedicated, passionate faculties in higher education.The professors who work here do so because they truly care about the success of each individual student, and they’ll do everything in their power to help you reach your goal—or even help you figure out just what your goals are. Very few people in this world achieve anything of significance entirely on their own.They need guides, mentors, leaders, advisors, and teachers. You won’t know when or where you’ll find them. It could be one of your professors. Or a coach. Or a friend in your dorm. One thing’s for sure: At Wilkes, you’ll find someone who believes in you. You’ll form relationships that last the rest of your life, and you will most definitely stand out from the crowd.

At just over 2,300 undergrads, we have fewer students enrolled than many high schools. But it’s definitely not a drawback. In fact, our small size allows us to offer a more personal, more intimate experience than universities ten times our size, while our unique educational philosophy differentiates us from other similarly sized universities.You’ll get access to your professors that you won’t find elsewhere. Our open-door policy means you’ll get plenty of face time with your instructors, so you’re always in control of your own success. It’s likely that professors will know you by name—maybe even by your nickname. You might even get to know the dean of your school as well as the nice woman who makes the brickoven pizza in the dining hall. Her name is Audrey. Whether you’re undeclared or unwavering,Wilkes can help steer you down the right career path support of your professors and peers, and a little of the nose to the grindstone, you’ll be prepare on the world — or at least your first job interview — no matter which of our 35 majors or 18 minors you choose.

But it’s not just about research. At Wilkes, you’ll learn ho put theory into practice by applying your classroom knowledge t world situations, working with industry and the community to ta projects ranging from environmental clean up to homeland secur With so many people offering directions, it’s easy to find your way. At the same time, your professors will start to learn your strengths and tune in to your interests and goals. But you’ll never be categorized or pigeon-holed into a situation that’s not right for you. Imagine a professor who encourages you to switch out of the subject she’s teaching into a different major because she spots a unique opportunity for you? It’s not uncommon at Wilkes. How would you like to become so tight with your environmental science professor that he invites you to join him on a research project in Yellowstone National Park? It happens every year with professor Sid Halsor.

Before you know it, your mailman might start to dislike you. That’s because he’s going to be lugging around all the mail that involves your college search. That means pounds of brochures featuring pretty campuses, smiling students, and friendly professors. In fact, he probably frowned a bit when he saw this envelope. But rest assured, this is not going to be your typical shiny, happy college brochure. This brochure should help guide you through the long and winding maze that is college admissions. We’ll give you some tips, pointers, and advice on how to navigate those white-capped waters. EVERYTHING A STUDENT WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT GETTING INTO COLLEGE.* So, why would we do that? Well, ultimately, we hope that once you figure out how to search for colleges, you choose to attend Wilkes University. But we hope it also conveys one of the things that makes Wilkes special—we always work closely with our students to help them achieve all of their goals. So if you learn something from this brochure, we’ve done something good. And if you decide to attend Wilkes, we’ve done our job. SCANTRON IS NOT A NEW TRANSFORMERS VILLAIN. IT IS SIMPLY YOUR OPPONENT IN THE BATTLE OF THE SAT. The SAT. Mere mention of it can make Scantron sheets tremble and Number 2 pencils quiver in horror. But here are a few tips that can help you slay the SAT beast: Remember, it’s only an exam. Your life does not depend on it. Albert Einstein, William Shakespeare, and that guy who invented canned ham never took the SAT, and they did just fine. Don’t be afraid to guess. If you can eliminate even one answer on a question, guessing increases your odds of success. Be a bubble boy (or girl). To save time, circle the correct answer in your test book in groups of five, and once you have completed five questions, bubble in those answers on your answer sheet. Underline key words, phrases, and names. When tackling questions in the reading comprehension section, underline as you go. *BUT WAS AFRAID TO ASK A manual by Wilkes University Skip to it. Don’t labor over one question. It’s not worth it to lose minutes answering one question when that will keep you from getting to five other ones. SONGS IN THE KEY OF SMARTNESS: AN SAT STUDYING PLAYLIST Instrumentals typically make for the best studying music. So here’s a batch of cool, wordless songs that will make your brain happy: Hint “Quite Spectacular” The Beastie Boys “Electric Worm” RJD2 “Ghostwriter” Hans Zimmer “You’re So Cool” Beethoven “Moonlight Sonata” Aphex Twin “Fingerbib” The Allman Brothers “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart “Requiem in D Minor” Broken Social Scene “Pacific Theme” Explosions in the Sky “Your Hand in Mine” The Meters “Sissy Strut” GET YOUR POPCORN READY: PRE-SAT MOVIE NIGHT Clear your head the night before the big exam with a studious movie to inspire you the next day. Some Wilkes students’ picks: Dead Poets Society Rushmore Stealing Harvard The Emperor’s Club Good Will Hunting Election A Beautiful Mind Mr. Holland’s Opus Lean On Me School Ties Finding Forrester Dangerous Minds MMM…TAFFY LOG: SAT SNACK GUIDE You are allowed to bring in a snack to the SAT, which you can store in your bag and eat during breaks.
