The spring semester is known for causing our seniors to go into overdrive to complete their final journey as students at Spelman College. From applications to interviews to studying and walking the stage. our senior scholars have a LOT on their hands. Despite carrying these tasks on her shoulders, Alyssa decided to beat the odds and take on the challenges full force.
We inform our students to apply to at least 10 schools so that they each have options available to them at one given time. Rodriguez followed directions completely and surpassed our expectations. With 8 applications, Alyssa received interview invitations from the University of Michigan, University of Illnois at Chicago, UC Santa Cruz, Vanderbilt, and Brown. Three institutions have already offered her full admission – UC Davis, VA TECH, and UMBC. We are extremely proud of all of her hard work and dedication to pursuing her PhD. We can’t wait to hear her final decision! We know that wherever she decides to go, she’ll make the most out of her experience and continue to excel in her studies.
