Meet Adam Eisdorfer ’25, who is thrilled to be matriculating to Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he will continue his academic and athletic career. Adam intends to major in “Course 6-14” (Economics, Computer Science and Data Science) and “Course 15-3” (Finance) and compete on the MIT track and field team.
Adam chose MIT for many reasons, including the school’s emphasis on STEM related courses that will fuel his love of math and science. An athlete who has won indoor and outdoor state titles on the track, Adam is also excited about the opportunity to compete at the college level. He’s ready to make an impact in many areas.
“At MIT, there are endless opportunities and resources to help you get involved in ways that matter in the world,” Adam said. “For example, I talked to a recent graduate of MIT, and they were telling me about their non-profit helping build and distribute sustainable ambulances to remote parts of Africa, which they started during their time as an undergraduate at MIT. The opportunities at the school seem endless to me, and I am excited to get involved in the many projects, sports and research opportunities that await.”
Adam feels well prepared for the challenges at MIT after building a strong base of knowledge at W+H. In the past four years, he has learned and thrived in classes ranging from AP science courses like AP Biology all the way to AP Microeconomics and AP Latin.
“Similarly, at W+H, I’ve been able to try every extracurricular interest I have had, from being on student council to playing soccer and running track,” said Adam, a multi-sport captain and this year’s Student Council President. “Because it’s a small school, I have found it very easy to not only get involved but also participate in a large capacity in anything I’m interested in.”

Meet Tapleen Kaur ’25, who is looking forward to continuing her education at Haverford College, where she will major in Public Policy. Tapleen knew she was looking for a small but diverse school and is happy to have found Haverford late in the process, thanks in large part to valuable guidance from Ms. Sarah Honan, Director of College Counseling.
“Fortunately, it only takes one step onto the campus to be welcomed by the feeling that this is home,” Tapleen said. “In every direction I looked, I always encountered students who were enjoying themselves. I saw them barbequing, studying out in the sun, and even going on walks on the trail the campus is surrounded by. Seeing how lively the place was brightened my day it affirmed my decision to attend Haverford in the fall!”
Tapleen credits W+H with helping her develop skills, learn more about herself, voice her opinion and stay true to her identity.
“I'm confident that when I attend college, it won't be so difficult for me to find the resources that will help me create a name for myself. I've always appreciated W+H for teaching me to represent my identity and background, and this confidence will carry itself with me throughout college,” she said.
Tapleen values many of the experiences she’s enjoyed as an active member of the W+H student body. Some of her favorite memories come from the various opportunities she’s received at the school. For example, she said being the first school that partnered with TEEEM to travel to their pod was “one of the coolest experiences ever.” She also loved the week-long trip to the Pine Ridge Reservation, which was full of adventures, learning and connections with the people at the reservation.
“I was doing hands-on work that taught me so much about the world around me,” she said. “Something we established early on was that before we are able to help the community around us, it's important that we learn what their true needs are and the circumstances they live in. I can assure myself that my leadership, communication and critical thinking skills all stem from the many opportunities W+H has provided me with.”

Meet Vinay Karthik ’25, a Wardlaw+Hartridge lifer who is excited to be matriculating to Princeton University, where he plans to major in Computer Science with a minor in Climate Science. Growing up in New Jersey, Vinay has always considered Princeton one of his dream schools due to its strong emphasis on undergraduate education and research.
“Princeton's commitment to service and civic engagement also deeply resonates with the values I was raised with,” Vinay said. “As a lifer at W+H, Princeton's small class sizes and close mentorship from faculty and peers fit my description of a second home.”
Vinay is grateful for the many W+H teachers who have sparked his love for learning. He’s benefitted from their passion and the many creative projects and constructive discussions he’s enjoyed during his 14 years at the school.
“W+H has empowered me to develop and apply my public speaking skills through numerous class presentations, leadership opportunities, and speech requirements, enabling me to share my voice with a wider community,” he said. “W+H has also instilled in me a growth mindset and the ability to empathize with people of diverse perspectives, all of which will be essential for my life at Princeton and beyond.”
Vinay’s many favorite W+H moments include acting in a Lower School Earth Day play, organizing the Race and Climate Symposium in Middle School, and serving as Editor-in-Chief of the Beacon student newspaper in Upper School. He credits the school with fostering his interest in research and global engagement through the Eighth Grade Capstone project, Global Scholars Program and Senior Capstone course.
“Wardlaw+Hartridge has provided me with countless opportunities that have shaped me into the person I am today,” Vinay said. “Despite its small size, the wide range of courses, extracurriculars and leadership opportunities offered at the school have enabled me to explore my interests, deepen my skills and customize my education. At Princeton, I am excited to explore the intersection of environmental science and technology and develop solutions for climate-resilient communities.”

Meet Giselle Rodriguez ’25, who is excited about continuing her education at Rutgers University, where she plans to major in biology with a minor in business.
Giselle likes to get involved in a variety of activities and make the most of opportunities, something she has done throughout her Upper School years at Wardlaw+Hartridge. After attending a summer program at Rutgers last year, she fell in love with the environment, how much was happening and the endless possibilities for her to explore.
“I was very involved in high school so I think that it's perfect for me to go to a school that has so many opportunities to enrich my college experience,” Giselle said. “Although I'm not intimidated by the size, I do understand that it's a very big school, so I like that you can make your experience feel personalized with what you choose to do with your time and who you surround yourself with. Ultimately, I'm excited to be in a place that will encourage me to delve into new experiences and help me come out of my shell just like W+H did for me.”
Giselle noted that W+H has taught her that she’s in control of her own experiences. She’s learned to ask questions, advocate for herself and be her own free thinker. She’s a confident young woman who is not afraid to ask for help, do her own research or carve her own path as she embraces independence and becoming an adult.
“I have been involved in so many things at W+H and I can attribute that to all of the support and encouragement I have received over the last four years,” she said. “I was able to embody all kinds of people – athlete, theater kid, leader, traveler, researcher – you name it, I've done it. I feel so prepared to deal with all kinds of obstacles because I was able to have all kinds of experiences to prepare for all aspects of life.”
Giselle is grateful for the support of Ms. Sarah Honan, her college counselor, for being a “guide and a friend” who helped her through everything in the admission process. Giselle acknowledged that there are big changes happening around the corner, but added that she feels “so ready to face this next chapter of my life and I'm excited to start working towards my future.”

Meet Harry Li ’25, a W+H lifer who is thrilled to be enrolling at UCLA, where he will major in Physiological Science on a Pre-Med track. When Harry learned of his acceptance to UCLA, he immediately arrived in the W+H College Counseling Office with a huge smile on his face.
“I chose UCLA because of its highly esteemed academic reputation, especially with its title as the No. 1 ranked public university,” he said. “Among all of the universities that offer the major of Physiological Science, UCLA also stands out as the highest-ranked one, which definitely made my decision easier. Beyond its reputation as an academic powerhouse, UCLA also drew me in with its perfect balance between educational and social life. Being able to have “fun in the sun” while simultaneously studying at one of the most prestigious institutions in the country is the ideal mix for me, which is why I am beyond excited to go to UCLA for my college experience.”
Harry has spent most of his life at W+H and truly values its small class sizes. He’s created many meaningful connections with teachers and is comfortable approaching any one of them for help. Asking for support and building relationships with faculty are skills Harry knows will help him succeed in the future.
“W+H has helped me become a well-rounded person by giving me the chance to explore so many interests, especially because of how welcoming and helpful the faculty are,” he said. “Just recently, I rediscovered my interest in piano, and both W+H’s concert pianist and band teacher were immediately and genuinely eager to help me. W+H’s community is so deeply interconnected, and their staff are not only willing but also enthusiastic about supporting students in any pursuit. This kind of environment has helped me gain confidence and curiosity, which has definitely been one of the most important parts of my development at W+H.”
As much as he loves W+H and has thrived in its close-knit environment, Harry is ready for Los Angeles.
“I am incredibly excited to be attending UCLA, and I am so grateful for the opportunities that lie ahead of me,” Harry said. “I truly believe that UCLA will give me the foundation, both academically and personally, to ultimately fulfill my goal of going to medical school and becoming a doctor. I can’t wait to take advantage of everything the school has to offer in order for me to turn that dream into a reality.”

Meet Arjun Vora ’25, who is looking forward to continuing his education at Purdue University, where he plans to major in mechanical engineering. Arjun was seeking a school with a strong engineering program and found his match in West Lafayette, Indiana.
“What ultimately drew me to West Lafayette was the perfect balance it offers: a focused academic environment combined with a vibrant college town atmosphere,” Arjun said. “While not situated in a major metropolitan area, West Lafayette provides all the amenities essential for a rich student experience without the distractions of a big city. The campus culture at Purdue emphasizes innovation and practical application, which aligns perfectly with my hands-on approach to learning. During my campus visit, I was particularly impressed by the state-of-the-art engineering facilities and the sense of Boilermaker pride throughout the community.”
Arjun credits W+H with fostering an environment of collaboration and academic excellence. He’s benefited from having peers from all sorts of backgrounds motivate him to engage in classes and extracurricular activities, and find his passion.
“The small class sizes and the individual focus given by both the teachers and college counselors is second to none,” Arjun said. “You are in the driver's seat of your experience at W+H and have the flexibility to pursue what YOU find captivating. Perhaps most importantly, W+H has encouraged me to take ownership of my educational journey, teaching me to be proactive about seeking opportunities rather than waiting for them to appear.”
Arjun firmly believes the Global Scholars Program helped him develop his skills as a leader and an activist. He’s learned how to engage with the world with an open mind and enjoyed many opportunities to make a meaningful impact in the community. Arjun is prepared to continue that trend as he heads to the Midwest for the next chapter of his academic journey.
Amelie Leu ’25 earned early decision acceptance to the University of Pennsylvania.
Read more about Amelie
Meet Amelie Leu ’25, who is living her dream after a recent early decision acceptance to the University of Pennsylvania. She’s coveted UPenn as a college destination throughout her Upper School years and is thrilled that it became a reality.
“What made me realize that UPenn was my dream school was seeing all of the past W+H alumni that matriculated there. Watching them through social media and even reaching out to them with questions I had only further proved that it was the university for me,” Amelie said.
Amelie’s love for UPenn increased when she visited the campus, as it felt like its own community while still very connected to the city. She’s also interested in studying Cognitive Science, a fairly new major that not all schools offer.
“What I love most about my university is its reputation as a social Ivy,” Amelie said. “I not only want to succeed academically but I also want to join clubs and find student life on campus that supports the person I want to become and the career I want to pursue.”
Amelie has spent her entire academic life at W+H and truly values the close-knit community and support of her teachers.
“The W+H community has blessed me in many different ways,” she said. “One way it has blessed me is in giving me the ability to understand how to interact with my teachers and reach out when I need help. I have formed close bonds with teachers that I will forever be grateful for. All the teachers here, from Lower School all the way to Upper School, have been nothing but supportive.”
She’s also grateful for the many opportunities W+H has provided for her to make an impact on the world. Among her favorites are the TEEEM (The Empathy, Equality, and Entrepreneurship Mission) initiatives, which include tutoring programs and an especially memorable trip.
“The highlight of this program for me has been the trip to the Oglala Lakota Nation in South Dakota that we took over the summer. Interacting with the youth on the reservation was an experience that I will never be able to forget,” said Amelie, who also participated in several tutoring programs at W+H. “I learned how to be empathetic and a person for others rather than myself. The experiences and lessons I have learned through these programs will stay with me throughout the rest of my life and have left an irreversible impression on the person I am today,” Amelie said.
Amelie will graduate from W+H as a confident young woman ready to shape her future and the world: “The programs at W+H have heavily prepared me for my career goals. I want to pursue work as a child psychiatrist. Many programs allowed me to form connections and interact with young children, whether it be helping them with a math problem or sharing cultural traditions. I have not only learned how to interact with youth but have also been able to pursue my passion for mental health through our school’s Active Minds chapter and Mental Health Symposium. With Wardlaw+Hartridge’s help, I feel prepared to step into college and professional life with the skills I need to succeed.”

Meet Oliver Laskow ’25, who is excited to continue his academic journey of exploration at Brown University. He has not decided on a major and is looking forward to taking advantage of the diverse offerings of Brown’s Open Curriculum.
“I chose Brown because it fit me the best. Throughout my high school experience, I learned that, unlike some of my classmates, I didn’t prefer a certain subject over another,” Oliver said. “I enjoyed everything I learned in class and I wanted to continue to pursue those diverse subjects because it’s what makes me unique. Many colleges allow some exploration in subject matter through general education or minors, but Brown truly encourages that exploration through its Open Curriculum. I picked my university to match my learning style the best.”
Oliver is grateful for the leadership opportunities he’s enjoyed at W+H, including the Model United Nations Club, an affinity group and other smaller organizations. He’s learned many different skills, including public speaking, planning ahead and communicating with faculty and administration, all of which he believes will be an asset in his college experience.
“One of the reasons I came to W+H in the first place is because of their opportunity for flexibility in class selection, which has made me a well-rounded person,” Oliver said. “Their partnership with Global Online Academy (GOA), the Global Scholars Program, and the diversity of courses available to students all combine to encourage students to explore subjects they otherwise never would, creating a body of students with a diversity of information.”
Oliver also saluted the W+H College Counseling Program for providing support and guidance throughout his application process. He entered his senior year still unsure about essay topics and wound up submitting solid materials after coordinating with Ms. Sarah Honan, Director of College Counseling. Oliver also had some difficulty deciding between a list of elite schools and credited Ms. Honan and visits to each campus for helping him make the best decision for his future.

Read more about Kate
Meet Kate Clemetson ’25, who is excited to continue her education at the University of Pennsylvania, where she plans to major in Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE) on a pre-law track.
Kate chose Penn because it immediately struck her as a place bustling with opportunity in every aspect of academic and extracurricular life. She loves school’s city location in Philadelphia and also appreciates the defined campus, which instills a strong sense of community.
“While the pre-professional culture will prepare me well for law school, I also appreciate Penn’s vibrant arts scene, from the Arts Integration and Music Business clubs to the possibility of joining an a cappella group,” said Kate, a talented performer who has excelled in the W+H musicals and concerts during her two years in Upper School. “Based on my experience of meeting ambitious yet genuinely kind students on Quaker Day, I already love the social atmosphere and I look forward to surrounding myself with high-caliber students who will inspire me to become better every day.”
Kate is grateful for how she was welcomed into the W+H community by students and faculty as a transfer student in her junior year. The school’s diverse student backgrounds have exposed her to new perspectives and helped cultivate her own.
“My time at W+H has shaped me into a more resilient and open-minded person, and it has given me a desire to make others feel seen, just as I did when I first found my place in this community,” she said.
Kate has become so involved in W+H school activities that it feels as if she’s been on campus for much longer than two years. In addition to making a name for herself on the stage, Kate earned starting positions on varsity soccer and basketball and initiated the school’s Mock Trial program.
“Having the flexibility to spearhead a Mock Trial team has also made me a more adaptable leader. I aimed to provide a space where students of all experience
levels could attain confidence in their convictions, as I, too, was finding my voice in an unfamiliar environment, and I look forward to new mentorship opportunities in college and beyond,” Kate said.
Kate added that she’s immensely grateful for Ms. Sarah Honan, Director of College Counseling, for her unwavering belief in her even during moments when she didn’t believe in herself: “Ms. Honan told me what I needed to hear and offered honest advice that helped me craft applications reflecting my most authentic self.”

Read more about Tommy
Meet Tommy O’Connor ’25, who is looking forward to continuing his academic career at Sacred Heart University, where he plans to pursue a 3+2 dual training degree in Exercise Science and Athletic Training.
Tommy was looking for a school with strong programs in athletic training and health sciences. When visiting Sacred Heart, he felt at home as soon as he stepped on the campus grounds.
“It could be that it is a smaller school not unlike W + H, but the beauty of the campus and livelihood of the students instantly made it my top choice,” Tommy said. “My favorite thing about the campus is how most of the dorms are around a big common area, which really shows the closeness of their community as opposed to other schools where the dorms may be more spread out and dispersed among the academic buildings.”
Tommy has made the most of his many opportunities to shine in his six years at W+H. Always a talented athlete, Tommy gained some fame when he made school history by becoming the first winter track athlete to win a State Prep title. He’s continued to shine on the track but has dipped his feet into many other pursuits, some of which had not been in his comfort zone.
“I've made use of most of the opportunities W+H has offered, participating in sports and clubs since seventh grade and participating in the musical this year have provided me with invaluable experiences,” he said. “I’ve also developed skills such as leadership. communication and planning that I hope to bring forward into college and the future.”
Tommy saluted Ms. Alayne Birnhak, his college counselor, for helping him “in more ways than one” and added shout outs to W+H athletic trainers Ryan Oliveira and Courtney McClain: “Without them helping me through injuries from sports, as well as the hard times outside of sports, I would not be where I am today. One day I hope to be as great an athletic trainer and friend as they were to me.”

Meet Rajwans Sindhar ’25, who is thrilled to be matriculating to the University of Virginia, where she plans to major in mechanical engineering. Raj chose UVA because she was looking for a college experience that offered prestige, a vibrant social life and a place where she could learn about herself, build relationships and find a routine away from home.
“UVA was ultimately the one school that checked all these boxes as it provides a prestigious engineering program, a beautiful and historic campus and a community that thrives from collaboration and excellence,” said Raj, who overcame some initial anxiety about her decision by doing extensive research into her options. She soon realized that UVA was the best choice.
“What I love most about UVA is its deep-rooted traditions and the unmatched pride UVA students and alumni have,” she said. “When I first committed to UVA, I did not expect the support from all incoming UVA students. I noticed that everyone was so willing to learn about others and hear their stories, a trait that is very similar to Wardlaw+Hartridge. Despite UVA’s size difference in comparison to W+H, there is a very strong sense of community that makes the size seem smaller. Ultimately, it makes UVA feel just like home.”
Raj is among the most active students in the W+H community. She’s a scholar, athlete, and leader in extracurricular activities. She values the school’s small, close-knit community and her involvement as a co-leader of the South Asian Student Alliance (SASA).
“Being part of SASA, and eventually taking on a co-leader role, taught me the importance of stepping up for others and leading with confidence,” said Raj, who helped organize events and lead group discussions. “These experiences gave me confidence to take initiative, which will come in handy through college clubs, group projects and applying for internship and research positions.”
Raj is grateful for her experiences in the Global Scholars Program, which broadened her worldview and deepened her understanding of global issues. Joining TEEEM enabled her to learn more about the needs of others and support worthy causes. She also believes W+H’s small size enabled her to build close relationships with her teachers and peers.
“I learned to advocate for myself by asking questions, engaging in class discussions, and seeking mentorship,” Raj said. “These skills will prove to be valuable in college when going to office hours and forming connections in the larger academic community. Wardlaw+Hartridge taught me how to be proactive and how building relationships can open doors and I plan to bring those lessons to UVA.”
Savanna Lopez ’25 is excited to be enrolling at Fordham University, where she will major in communications.
Read more about Savanna
Meet Savanna Lopez ’25, who is excited to be enrolling at Fordham University, where she will major in communications. Savanna chose Fordham at the Rose Hill campus because it has a perfect balance of a true campus feel in a big city.
“I appreciate that while it is a medium-sized population, there are still 1-on-1 connections between students and teachers,” Savanna said. “I love that while Fordham is not too far from home, it also allows me to explore a whole different world being in NYC.”
Savanna values the small class sizes and diversity at W+H, which has given her the confidence to use her voice and feel comfortable interacting with students and teachers. Savanna has been active in extracurricular activities and is an integral member of the cheer team, but she cited peer leadership as the most impactful program she’s participated in during her W+H years.
“I have learned responsibility, empathy, patience and above all else, what it means to be a role model,” Savanna said. “Being a peer keader has given me the opportunity to grow into the well-rounded person I am today.”
Savanna is grateful for the support of her college counselor, Ms. Alayne Birnhak, who provided wonderful support and guidance throughout the college admission process.
“Ms. Birnhak is genuinely very committed to helping each of her students as much as she can,” Savanna said. “She would always go out of her way to meet with me and ask about how I am doing, even if it didn’t concern college counseling specifically. She also helped me decide what size college I wanted to go to and what area would work best with my wants and needs.”

Meet Cian Nicholls ’25, a W+H lifer who’s excited to continue his educational journey at Siena College, where he plans to major in business.
Cian selected Siena for many reasons, including its strong alumni network, beautiful and well-maintained campus and strong presence in the business world.
Siena ensures that students graduate with a job, which Cian said was his No. 1 concern during his college search. He’s also looking forward to continuing his studies in a close-knit environment.
“The thing I love most has to be the small school size,” Cian said. “Siena is a small school numbers wise, which reminds me of W+H. The professors and students know each other well and small class sizes allow you to be a person rather than a number.”
Cian has loved growing up at W+H, experiencing many cultures and developing a strong sense of identity in a supportive environment. He’s confident expressing himself and his opinions and believes this skill will serve him well in college and beyond. Cian has made the most of his opportunities to become a vibrant presence in school life.
“I have been able to dip my feet in every part of the school. Participating in athletics, band, film, musical theatre, and peer leadership, I have been able to gain important lessons and skills from each, which I may not have been given in any other school,” he said. “By trying new things and given these opportunities, I have been able to obtain new skills, traits, and connect with different people providing me with important connections and lessons which I can use down the road.”
As he prepares to graduate, Cian is filled with gratitude and credited Ms. Alayne Birnhak, his college counselor, with providing incredible support during the application process to help him find his perfect fit.
“I’m very thankful for all the support I have received over the past 13 years of my Wardlaw+Hartridge experience and wouldn’t have been in this situation without it,” Cian said. “I would like to especially thank the small tight knit community which I have been able to call my family and grow so close with, allowing me to know the environment and feeling I wanted to replicate in my college life.”

Naomi admitted to feeling lost at the beginning of the college application process. She knew she wanted to apply to nursing school and continue her track and field career at the collegiate level. She wound up selecting Moravian for many reasons, including its unique nursing curriculum and focus on career readiness.
“The nursing program focuses on producing well-rounded nurses who are prepared for anything,” Naomi said. “Their career promise ensures that after college every student has a plan going forward and is taken care of. I was also recruited to run track at Moravian and after meeting with the coaches and the team, I felt at home.”
Naomi has learned to advocate for herself and seek out the resources necessary to succeed during her two years at W+H. These skills will come in handy in college, where she will also need to juggle her academic and athletic commitments.
“I am so grateful for the opportunities W+H has provided me with,” Naomi said. “I transferred here as a junior, but I was still able to make a difference in my community. As co-leader of the Black Student Alliance, and captain of both the winter and spring track teams, I was able to learn what it means to lead with a purpose. It taught me lessons that I will be able to employ in other parts of my life, as I face different challenges.”
Naomi also values the support and guidance provided by Ms. Alayne Birnhak, her W+H college counselor, who recommended Moravian: “She made sure to listen and guided me through the process with a comprehensive view of myself and the goals I wanted to achieve,” Naomi said.

“What I love most about Rowan is the sense of belonging and wide range of programs and activities they offer,” Al said.
Al believes W+H has prepared him for college “in so many ways.” He cited the school’s academic programs for helping him develop strong time management and study skills and the small class sizes and close relationships with teachers for helping him advocate for himself and ask for help when needed. He also values his years on the basketball team for teaching him leadership, perseverance and how to balance academics with extracurricular skills, which he knows will be crucial in college.
“W+H encouraged me to explore different interests, from athletics to community drives to public speaking,” Al said. “I was able to try new things and meet people from all walks of life, and push myself outside of my comfort zone. That experience helped me become more confident, empathetic and adaptable.”
Al is grateful for the support of the W+H College Counseling Program, which understood his interests, personality and goals to help find his best fit. Thanks to this support, he felt confident and informed throughout the entire process, which made the decision to choose Rowan even more meaningful.

“W+H has allowed me to pursue both my academic and extracurricular interests in a culturally rich and diverse environment,” said Saveena, who was a co-leader of the Green Club and member of the varsity girls’ basketball team in her three years at the school. “I also had the time to pursue my passions as a director in volunteer service outside of school as well as share my Indian culture through dance performances in several cultural showcases both in and out of school. These experiences have prepared me to engage in both academic and social activities, embrace my identity, and pursue both my personal passions and academic goals.”
Saveena gave one final shout out to the W+H College Counseling Team:
“The W+H college counseling program made navigating the admissions process a breeze,” she said. “From brainstorming essay topics to preparing for interviews, my college counselor consistently provided me with support and practice throughout the journey.”

I know it's super cliche, but when I stepped on the BU campus, it just felt right for me.

Most of her college searches started with soccer but Italia selected FDU for its campus, student help resources and the women’s soccer coaching staff. She was impressed by some of the aesthetic features of the campus including its natural vegetation and original art and furniture pieces, the plethora of student resources available and her connection with FDU coach Kristin Giotta.
“I knew it was a nice school with amazing academic opportunities, but I wanted to go out of state originally. But talking with Coach G and the rest of the girls, I felt an immediate click and knew I found my new family,” Italia said. “What I love most about FDU is the number of opportunities they give you, and how you can make it your own. There are plenty of opportunities to start your own research, participate in existing research, or study abroad and that really opens doors for many of the students, or helps others find their newfound passion.”

Meet Kate Wolff ’25, who is thrilled to be enrolling at the University of Richmond after her recent early admission acceptance. Kate plans to major in psychology or organizational behavior studies.
Kate chose the University of Richmond because of how much they prioritize their students' success, both in and out of the classroom. She wanted to be close to a city with a traditional campus feel, and Richmond’s beautiful campus surrounding a lake with a nearby city atmosphere checked those boxes.

I’ve used these qualities in the W+H community and am excited to use them again at my new community in Richmond.”
She added that she’s forever grateful to Ms. Sarah Honan, Director of College Counseling, for introducing her to the University of Richmond and for her endless help and support in the application process: “She helped me be confident in myself and my application and realize that University of Richmond is where I want to be in these next four years.”

Read more about Annie
Meet Annie Yu ’25, who is looking forward to continuing her academic journey at Brown University after a recent early decision acceptance. She’s undecided on her major but is
interested in learning more about studio art, environmental studies and East Asian studies.
“I chose Brown because of its diverse, interdisciplinary, and liberal arts environment,” Annie said. “When I was looking at schools, I looked at mainly liberal arts schools because my counselor, Ms. Honan, said that those types of schools will be more fit for me. They promoted exploration, teacher-student interaction, and provided more support for students who didn't know what they wanted to do in the future.”
Annie values her years at Wardlaw+Hartridge, a time during which she has learned to advocate for herself while taking advantage of small class sizes, many extracurricular opportunities and superb academic preparation.
“Wardlaw promotes student involvement in decision-making roles. While leading the Green Club, I've learned that we need to draft detailed emails of any events we want to hold and meet deadlines,” she said. “W+H also encourages students to think in multiple perspectives. In AP Lang, we read a lot of non-fiction literature and wrote analyses about the author's perspective. In class discussions, people are encouraged to ask questions and state their opinions. In every class I take, the teacher has a different teaching style, yet another perspective. These are all important when entering college.”
Annie has made the most of her W+H experience by participating in the Global Scholars Program, staying active in athletics, and conducting a Chinese independent study. She’s also grateful for the support and guidance of the school’s College Counseling Office, which helped ease her stress about everything from letters of recommendation to reading essays throughout the application process.
“I want to further emphasize the importance of asking for help, and being proactive,” Annie said. “In this process, my parents were heavily involved, too. Throughout every step, they wanted to ensure things were as good as they could be. It was my mom who pushed questions onto me, and led me inevitably to ask Ms. Honan for help. She always answered honestly and wholeheartedly. She even made time to meet with my parents, which allowed them to feel comfortable with my decisions as well. My parents say that my brother did not have such a caring counselor, which shows how much my counselors do care. I believe part of it is also me constantly speaking up for myself.”

An athlete who has won indoor and outdoor state titles on the track, Adam is also excited about the opportunity to compete at the college level. He’s ready to make an impact in many areas.
“At MIT, there are endless opportunities and resources to help you get involved in ways that matter in the world,” Adam said. “For example, I talked to a recent graduate of MIT, and they were telling me about their non-profit helping build and distribute sustainable ambulances to remote parts of Africa, which they started during their time as an undergraduate at MIT. The opportunities at the school seem endless to me, and I am excited to get involved in the many projects, sports and research opportunities that await.”
Adam feels well prepared for the challenges at MIT after building a strong base of knowledge at W+H. In the past four years, he has learned and thrived in classes ranging from AP science courses like AP Biology all the way to AP Microeconomics and AP Latin.
“Similarly, at W+H, I’ve been able to try every extracurricular interest I have had, from being on student council to playing soccer and running track,” said Adam, a multi-sport captain and this year’s Student Council President. “Because it’s a small school, I have found it very easy to not only get involved but also participate in a large capacity in anything I’m interested in.”

Tapleen knew she was looking for a small but diverse school and is happy to have found Haverford late in the process, thanks in large part to valuable guidance from Ms. Sarah Honan, Director of College Counseling.
“Fortunately, it only takes one step onto the campus to be welcomed by the feeling that this is home,” Tapleen said. “In every direction I looked, I always encountered students who were enjoying themselves. I saw them barbequing, studying out in the sun, and even going on walks on the trail the campus is surrounded by. Seeing how lively the place was brightened my day it affirmed my decision to attend Haverford in the fall!”
Tapleen credits W+H with helping her develop skills, learn more about herself, voice her opinion and stay true to her identity.
“I'm confident that when I attend college, it won't be so difficult for me to find the resources that will help me create a name for myself. I've always appreciated W+H for teaching me to represent my identity and background, and this confidence will carry itself with me throughout college,” she said.
Tapleen values many of the experiences she’s enjoyed as an active member of the W+H student body. Some of her favorite memories come from the various opportunities she’s received at the school. For example, she said being the first school that partnered with TEEEM to travel to their pod was “one of the coolest experiences ever.” She also loved the week-long trip to the Pine Ridge Reservation, which was full of adventures, learning and connections with the people at the reservation.
“I was doing hands-on work that taught me so much about the world around me,” she said. “Something we established early on was that before we are able to help the community around us, it's important that we learn what their true needs are and the circumstances they live in. I can assure myself that my leadership, communication and critical thinking skills all stem from the many opportunities W+H has provided me with.”

Meet Giselle Rodriguez ’25, who is excited about continuing her education at Rutgers University, where she plans to major in biology with a minor in business.
Giselle likes to get involved in a variety of activities and make the most of opportunities, something she has done throughout her Upper School years at Wardlaw+Hartridge. After attending a summer program at Rutgers last year, she fell in love with the environment, how much was happening and the endless possibilities for her to explore.

Ultimately, I'm excited to be in a place that will encourage me to delve into new experiences and help me come out of my shell just like W+H did for me.”
Giselle noted that W+H has taught her that she’s in control of her own experiences. She’s learned to ask questions, advocate for herself and be her own free thinker. She’s a confident young woman who is not afraid to ask for help, do her own research or carve her own path as she embraces independence and becoming an adult.
“I have been involved in so many things at W+H and I can attribute that to all of the support and encouragement I have received over the last four years,” she said. “I was able to embody all kinds of people – athlete, theater kid, leader, traveler, researcher – you name it, I've done it. I feel so prepared to deal with all kinds of obstacles because I was able to have all kinds of experiences to prepare for all aspects of life.”

Beyond its reputation as an academic powerhouse, UCLA also drew me in with its perfect balance between educational and social life. Being able to have “fun in the sun” while simultaneously studying at one of the most prestigious institutions in the country is the ideal mix for me, which is why I am beyond excited to go to UCLA for my college experience.”
Harry has spent most of his life at W+H and truly values its small class sizes. He’s created many meaningful connections with teachers and is comfortable approaching any one of them for help. Asking for support and building relationships with faculty are skills Harry knows will help him succeed in the future.
“W+H has helped me become a well-rounded person by giving me the chance to explore so many interests, especially because of how welcoming and helpful the faculty are,” he said. “Just recently, I rediscovered my interest in piano, and both W+H’s concert pianist and band teacher were immediately and genuinely eager to help me. W+H’s community is so deeply interconnected, and their staff are not only willing but also enthusiastic about supporting students in any pursuit. This kind of environment has helped me gain confidence and curiosity, which has definitely been one of the most important parts of my development at W+H.”
As much as he loves W+H and has thrived in its close-knit environment, Harry is ready for Los Angeles.
“I am incredibly excited to be attending UCLA, and I am so grateful for the opportunities that lie ahead of me,” Harry said. “I truly believe that UCLA will give me the foundation, both academically and personally, to ultimately fulfill my goal of going to medical school and becoming a doctor. I can’t wait to take advantage of everything the school has to offer in order for me to turn that dream into a reality.”

Meet Arjun Vora ’25, who is looking forward to continuing his education at Purdue University, where he plans to major in mechanical engineering. Arjun was seeking a school with a strong engineering program and found his match in West Lafayette, Indiana.
“What ultimately drew me to West Lafayette was the perfect balance it offers: a focused academic environment combined with a vibrant college town atmosphere,” Arjun said. “While not situated in a major metropolitan area, West Lafayette provides all the amenities essential for a rich student experience without the distractions of a big city. The campus culture at Purdue emphasizes innovation and practical application, which aligns perfectly with my hands-on approach to learning. During my campus visit, I was particularly impressed by the state-of-the-art engineering facilities and the sense of Boilermaker pride throughout the community.”
Arjun credits W+H with fostering an environment of collaboration and academic excellence. He’s benefited from having peers from all sorts of backgrounds motivate him to engage in classes and extracurricular activities, and find his passion.
“The small class sizes and the individual focus given by both the teachers and college counselors is second to none,” Arjun said. “You are in the driver's seat of your experience at W+H and have the flexibility to pursue what YOU find captivating. Perhaps most importantly, W+H has encouraged me to take ownership of my educational journey, teaching me to be proactive about seeking opportunities rather than waiting for them to appear.”
Arjun firmly believes the Global Scholars Program helped him develop his skills as a leader and an activist. He’s learned how to engage with the world with an open mind and enjoyed many opportunities to make a meaningful impact in the community. Arjun is prepared to continue that trend as he heads to the Midwest for the next chapter of his academic journey.

Meet Amelie Leu ’25, who is living her dream after a recent early decision acceptance to the University of Pennsylvania. She’s coveted UPenn as a college destination throughout her Upper School years and is thrilled that it became a reality.
“What made me realize that UPenn was my dream school was seeing all of the past W+H alumni that matriculated there. Watching them through social media and even reaching out to them with questions I had only further proved that it was the university for me,” Amelie said.
Amelie’s love for UPenn increased when she visited the campus, as it felt like its own community while still very connected to the city. She’s also interested in studying Cognitive Science, a fairly new major that not all schools offer.
“What I love most about my university is its reputation as a social Ivy,” Amelie said. “I not only want to succeed academically but I also want to join clubs and find student life on campus that supports the person I want to become and the career I want to pursue.”
Amelie has spent her entire academic life at W+H and truly values the close-knit community and support of her teachers.
“The W+H community has blessed me in many different ways,” she said. “One way it has blessed me is in giving me the ability to understand how to interact with my teachers and reach out when I need help. I have formed close bonds with teachers that I will forever be grateful for. All the teachers here, from Lower School all the way to Upper School, have been nothing but supportive.”
She’s also grateful for the many opportunities W+H has provided for her to make an impact on the world. Among her favorites are the TEEEM (The Empathy, Equality, and Entrepreneurship Mission) initiatives, which include tutoring programs and an especially memorable trip.
“The highlight of this program for me has been the trip to the Oglala Lakota Nation in South Dakota that we took over the summer. Interacting with the youth on the reservation was an experience that I will never be able to forget,” said Amelie, who also participated in several tutoring programs at W+H. “I learned how to be empathetic and a person for others rather than myself. The experiences and lessons I have learned through these programs will stay with me throughout the rest of my life and have left an irreversible impression on the person I am today,” Amelie said.
Amelie will graduate from W+H as a confident young woman ready to shape her future and the world: “The programs at W+H have heavily prepared me for my career goals. I want to pursue work as a child psychiatrist. Many programs allowed me to form connections and interact with young children, whether it be helping them with a math problem or sharing cultural traditions. I have not only learned how to interact with youth but have also been able to pursue my passion for mental health through our school’s Active Minds chapter and Mental Health Symposium. With Wardlaw+Hartridge’s help, I feel prepared to step into college and professional life with the skills I need to succeed.”

Meet Oliver Laskow ’25, who is excited to continue his academic journey of exploration at Brown University. He has not decided on a major and is looking forward to taking advantage of the diverse offerings of Brown’s Open Curriculum.
“I chose Brown because it fit me the best. Throughout my high school experience, I learned that, unlike some of my classmates, I didn’t prefer a certain subject over another,” Oliver said. “I enjoyed everything I learned in class and I wanted to continue to pursue those diverse subjects because it’s what makes me unique. Many colleges allow some exploration in subject matter through general education or minors, but Brown truly encourages that exploration through its Open Curriculum. I picked my university to match my learning style the best.”
Oliver is grateful for the leadership opportunities he’s enjoyed at W+H, including the Model United Nations Club, an affinity group and other smaller organizations. He’s learned many different skills, including public speaking, planning ahead and communicating with faculty and administration, all of which he believes will be an asset in his college experience.
“One of the reasons I came to W+H in the first place is because of their opportunity for flexibility in class selection, which has made me a well-rounded person,” Oliver said. “Their partnership with Global Online Academy (GOA), the Global Scholars Program, and the diversity of courses available to students all combine to encourage students to explore subjects they otherwise never would, creating a body of students with a diversity of information.”
Oliver also saluted the W+H College Counseling Program for providing support and guidance throughout his application process. He entered his senior year still unsure about essay topics and wound up submitting solid materials after coordinating with Ms. Sarah Honan, Director of College Counseling. Oliver also had some difficulty deciding between a list of elite schools and credited Ms. Honan and visits to each campus for helping him make the best decision for his future.

Meet Kate Clemetson ’25, who is excited to continue her education at the University of Pennsylvania, where she plans to major in Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE) on a pre-law track.
Kate chose Penn because it immediately struck her as a place bustling with opportunity in every aspect of academic and extracurricular life. She loves school’s city location in Philadelphia and also appreciates the defined campus, which instills a strong sense of community.
“While the pre-professional culture will prepare me well for law school, I also appreciate Penn’s vibrant arts scene, from the Arts Integration and Music Business clubs to the possibility of joining an a cappella group,” said Kate, a talented performer who has excelled in the W+H musicals and concerts during her two years in Upper School. “Based on my experience of meeting ambitious yet genuinely kind students on Quaker Day, I already love the social atmosphere and I look forward to surrounding myself with high-caliber students who will inspire me to become better every day.”
Kate is grateful for how she was welcomed into the W+H community by students and faculty as a transfer student in her junior year. The school’s diverse student backgrounds have exposed her to new perspectives and helped cultivate her own.
“My time at W+H has shaped me into a more resilient and open-minded person, and it has given me a desire to make others feel seen, just as I did when I first found my place in this community,” she said.
Kate has become so involved in W+H school activities that it feels as if she’s been on campus for much longer than two years. In addition to making a name for herself on the stage, Kate earned starting positions on varsity soccer and basketball and initiated the school’s Mock Trial program.
“Having the flexibility to spearhead a Mock Trial team has also made me a more adaptable leader. I aimed to provide a space where students of all experience
levels could attain confidence in their convictions, as I, too, was finding my voice in an unfamiliar environment, and I look forward to new mentorship opportunities in college and beyond,” Kate said.
Kate added that she’s immensely grateful for Ms. Sarah Honan, Director of College Counseling, for her unwavering belief in her even during moments when she didn’t believe in herself: “Ms. Honan told me what I needed to hear and offered honest advice that helped me craft applications reflecting my most authentic self.”

Read more about Tommy
Meet Tommy O’Connor ’25, who is looking forward to continuing his academic career at Sacred Heart University, where he plans to pursue a 3+2 dual training degree in Exercise Science and Athletic Training.
Tommy was looking for a school with strong programs in athletic training and health sciences. When visiting Sacred Heart, he felt at home as soon as he stepped on the campus grounds.
“It could be that it is a smaller school not unlike W + H, but the beauty of the campus and livelihood of the students instantly made it my top choice,” Tommy said. “My favorite thing about the campus is how most of the dorms are around a big common area, which really shows the closeness of their community as opposed to other schools where the dorms may be more spread out and dispersed among the academic buildings.”
Tommy has made the most of his many opportunities to shine in his six years at W+H. Always a talented athlete, Tommy gained some fame when he made school history by becoming the first winter track athlete to win a State Prep title. He’s continued to shine on the track but has dipped his feet into many other pursuits, some of which had not been in his comfort zone.
“I've made use of most of the opportunities W+H has offered, participating in sports and clubs since seventh grade and participating in the musical this year have provided me with invaluable experiences,” he said. “I’ve also developed skills such as leadership. communication and planning that I hope to bring forward into college and the future.”
Tommy saluted Ms. Alayne Birnhak, his college counselor, for helping him “in more ways than one” and added shout outs to W+H athletic trainers Ryan Oliveira and Courtney McClain: “Without them helping me through injuries from sports, as well as the hard times outside of sports, I would not be where I am today. One day I hope to be as great an athletic trainer and friend as they were to me.”

Meet Rajwans Sindhar ’25, who is thrilled to be matriculating to the University of Virginia, where she plans to major in mechanical engineering. Raj chose UVA because she was looking for a college experience that offered prestige, a vibrant social life and a place where she could learn about herself, build relationships and find a routine away from home.
“UVA was ultimately the one school that checked all these boxes as it provides a prestigious engineering program, a beautiful and historic campus and a community that thrives from collaboration and excellence,” said Raj, who overcame some initial anxiety about her decision by doing extensive research into her options. She soon realized that UVA was the best choice.
“What I love most about UVA is its deep-rooted traditions and the unmatched pride UVA students and alumni have,” she said. “When I first committed to UVA, I did not expect the support from all incoming UVA students. I noticed that everyone was so willing to learn about others and hear their stories, a trait that is very similar to Wardlaw+Hartridge. Despite UVA’s size difference in comparison to W+H, there is a very strong sense of community that makes the size seem smaller. Ultimately, it makes UVA feel just like home.”
Raj is among the most active students in the W+H community. She’s a scholar, athlete, and leader in extracurricular activities. She values the school’s small, close-knit community and her involvement as a co-leader of the South Asian Student Alliance (SASA).
“Being part of SASA, and eventually taking on a co-leader role, taught me the importance of stepping up for others and leading with confidence,” said Raj, who helped organize events and lead group discussions. “These experiences gave me confidence to take initiative, which will come in handy through college clubs, group projects and applying for internship and research positions.”
Raj is grateful for her experiences in the Global Scholars Program, which broadened her worldview and deepened her understanding of global issues. Joining TEEEM enabled her to learn more about the needs of others and support worthy causes. She also believes W+H’s small size enabled her to build close relationships with her teachers and peers.
“I learned to advocate for myself by asking questions, engaging in class discussions, and seeking mentorship,” Raj said. “These skills will prove to be valuable in college when going to office hours and forming connections in the larger academic community. Wardlaw+Hartridge taught me how to be proactive and how building relationships can open doors and I plan to bring those lessons to UVA.”

Meet Savanna Lopez ’25, who is excited to be enrolling at Fordham University, where she will major in communications. Savanna chose Fordham at the Rose Hill campus because it has a perfect balance of a true campus feel in a big city.
“I appreciate that while it is a medium-sized population, there are still 1-on-1 connections between students and teachers,” Savanna said. “I love that while Fordham is not too far from home, it also allows me to explore a whole different world being in NYC.”
Savanna values the small class sizes and diversity at W+H, which has given her the confidence to use her voice and feel comfortable interacting with students and teachers. Savanna has been active in extracurricular activities and is an integral member of the cheer team, but she cited peer leadership as the most impactful program she’s participated in during her W+H years.
“I have learned responsibility, empathy, patience and above all else, what it means to be a role model,” Savanna said. “Being a peer keader has given me the opportunity to grow into the well-rounded person I am today.”
Savanna is grateful for the support of her college counselor, Ms. Alayne Birnhak, who provided wonderful support and guidance throughout the college admission process.
“Ms. Birnhak is genuinely very committed to helping each of her students as much as she can,” Savanna said. “She would always go out of her way to meet with me and ask about how I am doing, even if it didn’t concern college counseling specifically. She also helped me decide what size college I wanted to go to and what area would work best with my wants and needs.”

Siena ensures that students graduate with a job, which Cian said was his No. 1 concern during his college search. He’s also looking forward to continuing his studies in a close-knit environment.
“The thing I love most has to be the small school size,” Cian said. “Siena is a small school numbers wise, which reminds me of W+H. The professors and students know each other well and small class sizes allow you to be a person rather than a number.”
Cian has loved growing up at W+H, experiencing many cultures and developing a strong sense of identity in a supportive environment. He’s confident expressing himself and his opinions and believes this skill will serve him well in college and beyond. Cian has made the most of his opportunities to become a vibrant presence in school life.
“I have been able to dip my feet in every part of the school. Participating in athletics, band, film, musical theatre, and peer leadership, I have been able to gain important lessons and skills from each, which I may not have been given in any other school,” he said. “By trying new things and given these opportunities, I have been able to obtain new skills, traits, and connect with different people providing me with important connections and lessons which I can use down the road.”
As he prepares to graduate, Cian is filled with gratitude and credited Ms. Alayne Birnhak, his college counselor, with providing incredible support during the application process to help him find his perfect fit.
“I’m very thankful for all the support I have received over the past 13 years of my Wardlaw+Hartridge experience and wouldn’t have been in this situation without it,” Cian said. “I would like to especially thank the small tight knit community which I have been able to call my family and grow so close with, allowing me to know the environment and feeling I wanted to replicate in my college life.”

Naomi admitted to feeling lost at the beginning of the college application process. She knew she wanted to apply to nursing school and continue her track and field career at the collegiate level. She wound up selecting Moravian for many reasons, including its unique nursing curriculum and focus on career readiness.
“The nursing program focuses on producing well-rounded nurses who are prepared for anything,” Naomi said. “Their career promise ensures that after college every student has a plan going forward and is taken care of. I was also recruited to run track at Moravian and after meeting with the coaches and the team, I felt at home.”
Naomi has learned to advocate for herself and seek out the resources necessary to succeed during her two years at W+H. These skills will come in handy in college, where she will also need to juggle her academic and athletic commitments.
“I am so grateful for the opportunities W+H has provided me with,” Naomi said. “I transferred here as a junior, but I was still able to make a difference in my community. As co-leader of the Black Student Alliance, and captain of both the winter and spring track teams, I was able to learn what it means to lead with a purpose. It taught me lessons that I will be able to employ in other parts of my life, as I face different challenges.”

Al is grateful for the support of the W+H College Counseling Program, which understood his interests, personality and goals to help find his best fit. Thanks to this support, he felt confident and informed throughout the entire process, which made the decision to choose Rowan even more meaningful.

Meet Siri Patel ’25, who is looking forward to continuing her educational journey at Syracuse University, where she plans to major in design studies. Siri first learned about Syracuse University through her cousin, who spoke very highly of her experience there. When Siri visited the campus, she was quickly impressed.
“I was immediately struck by the vibrant energy and enthusiasm of the students, which made it clear how much they enjoyed their time there,” Siri said. “Syracuse is a university that truly fosters both personal and academic growth, two values that are incredibly important to me. The sense of community and the opportunities for development make it an inspiring place to learn and grow.”
Siri admitted to struggling with time management at the beginning of her W+H career as a ninth grader in a new environment. She’s happy to report great progress in this area and is now able to engage in both social activities and academic obligations without feeling overwhelmed.
“I have also become much more confident in asking questions and reaching out to teachers for help when needed,” she said. “These are all valuable skills and will be useful in preparation for the independence required in college.”
Siri cited her volunteer outing at the Interfaith RISE wood shop as a valuable experience in her W+H years. She enjoyed helping build dressers for refugee children coming to the United States without a parent or guardian.
“This experience helped me develop strong communication and teamwork skills, as well as a deeper sense of empathy,” Siri said.

Meet Caleb Rothrock Steinfeld ’25, who is looking forward to enrolling at Boston University, where he intends to pursue a major within the School of Arts & Sciences. BU landed on Caleb’s radar when he was looking at schools in the Boston area and made its way to top of his list after he visited the campus, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
“I didn't think there would be a school out there that had a solid campus ground in the middle of the city, but that's what BU felt like to me,” Caleb said. “I would have all the advantages of being a student in a large city without needing to sacrifice that classic college campus feeling. I know it's super cliche, but when I stepped on the BU campus, it just felt right for me. It also helped that BU has a super flexible curriculum that will allow me to explore all my interests before deciding on a major, or maybe even creating my own!”
Caleb is grateful for the diverse and supportive W+H community, which has helped him develop his interpersonal skills through exposure to people from different backgrounds in various settings. He cited Mrs. Sharon Byrne and Ms. Jinni Durham as teachers who have been extremely supportive of his endeavors.
“W+H has made me step out of my comfort zone on multiple occasions and I think it has really made me a better person. I'm not a great public speaker; in fact, it makes me incredibly nervous to talk in front of people. But through the many presentations I have had to do and by performing through W+H's robust and welcoming Performing Arts Department, I have really improved that ability,” he said.
Caleb added that he’s truly thankful for the guidance of Ms. Alayne Birnhak, Associate Director of College Counseling, who helped him find his academic destination for the next four years.

Meet Italia Penevolpe ’25, who is looking forward to continuing her academic and athletic careers at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison. Italia plans to major in psychology and hopes to become a criminal profiler. She also will play soccer at FDU.
Most of her college searches started with soccer but Italia selected FDU for its campus, student help resources and the women’s soccer coaching staff. She was impressed by some of the aesthetic features of the campus including its natural vegetation and original art and furniture pieces, the plethora of student resources available and her connection with FDU coach Kristin Giotta.
“I knew it was a nice school with amazing academic opportunities, but I wanted to go out of state originally. But talking with Coach G and the rest of the girls, I felt an immediate click and knew I found my new family,” Italia said. “What I love most about FDU is the number of opportunities they give you, and how you can make it your own. There are plenty of opportunities to start your own research, participate in existing research, or study abroad and that really opens doors for many of the students, or helps others find their newfound passion.”
Italia credits W+H with providing many opportunities and helping her learn productive study methods and time management skills that will set her up for success in college.
“Wardlaw+Hartridge has also taught me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things, such as being a co-leader of an affinity group, and having the privilege to be a co-captain on sports teams,” she said. “I’m just excited to move onto a new chapter of my life and discover more about myself as I grow and learn.”

Meet Mason Clemetson ’25, who is thrilled to be enrolling at the University of Virginia after his recent early decision acceptance. While Mason is not yet certain about his major field of study, he is sure he’s found an amazing place to continue his education.
“I chose UVA because it encapsulates everything that I want from my college experience,” said Mason, who’s considering business and history as possible majors. “At UVA, I will have access to world-class professors who can broaden my understanding of the world, and I believe that the resources the school will provide me both inside and outside of the classroom will help further my growth as a person.”
When visiting the Grounds, Mason fell in love with UVA’s rich history and traditions, Thomas Jefferson’s ideals of integrity and collaboration, and the atmosphere and camaraderie of the school. A talented All-GMC basketball player, he’s also looking forward to being immersed in the robust Atlantic Coast Conference sports culture.
Mason has quickly gained the respect of his W+H teachers and coaches as a dependable student and leader. He’s grateful for the opportunities and experiences the school has provided and feels well prepared for college.
“I believe that Wardlaw+Hartridge has taught me the necessary study habits, along with the skill of balancing multiple sports and extracurriculars, that will help me succeed in college,” he said. “Also, as someone who transferred to W+H my junior year, I appreciate the welcoming nature of the W+H community and that it truly uplifts and cares for its students. I believe that the confidence that this school has given me as a student and as a person will help me succeed at UVA.”
While he takes pride in his role as the basketball team’s point guard, Mason also values the leadership opportunity he’s enjoyed as a peer leader. Mason said this experience has taught him a lot about himself and made him realize that true leadership is about connection, understanding, and helping others develop into leaders of their own.
“I’m incredibly grateful for all of the people I’ve met at W+H and all of the friends I have made since I came here last year,” Mason said. “I’m glad that I was able to spend my last two years of high school at Wardlaw+Hartridge, and I look forward to the next chapter of my life at UVA.”

Em believes the small class sizes and favorable student-teacher ratio at Wardlaw+Hartridge will be an asset to them in college.

Meet Kate Wolff ’25, who is thrilled to be enrolling at the University of Richmond after her recent early admission acceptance. Kate plans to major in psychology or organizational behavior studies.
Kate chose the University of Richmond because of how much they prioritize their students' success, both in and out of the classroom. She wanted to be close to a city with a traditional campus feel, and Richmond’s beautiful campus surrounding a lake with a nearby city atmosphere checked those boxes.
She’s made the most of her four years at Wardlaw+Hartridge and is grateful for the many opportunities that have shaped her.
“At W+H, I learned how to advocate for myself and communicate effectively with my teachers and peers,” Kate said. “I’ve been able to practice balancing my social life and classes, which I know will be useful in college. By trying new sports and taking leadership positions, I’ve broadened my interests and skill set while stepping outside of my comfort zone.”
Kate also reflected on some W+H opportunities she wouldn’t have experienced elsewhere: “I was lucky enough to be on the South Dakota trip this past summer, where I learned the importance of community, compassion, and adaptability. I’ve used these qualities in the W+H community and am excited to use them again at my new community in Richmond.”
She added that she’s forever grateful to Ms. Sarah Honan, Director of College Counseling, for introducing her to the University of Richmond and for her endless help and support in the application process: “She helped me be confident in myself and my application and realize that University of Richmond is where I want to be in these next four years.”
Kate is excited for the next chapter of her life at Richmond and is extremely grateful to the W+H community for the past four years!
Annie Yu ’25 was accepted to Brown University via early decision. She is
interested in studio art, environmental studies and East Asian studies.
Read more about Annie
Meet Annie Yu ’25, who is looking forward to continuing her academic journey at Brown University after a recent early decision acceptance. She’s undecided on her major but is
interested in learning more about studio art, environmental studies and East Asian studies.
“I chose Brown because of its diverse, interdisciplinary, and liberal arts environment,” Annie said. “When I was looking at schools, I looked at mainly liberal arts schools because my counselor, Ms. Honan, said that those types of schools will be more fit for me. They promoted exploration, teacher-student interaction, and provided more support for students who didn't know what they wanted to do in the future.”
Annie values her years at Wardlaw+Hartridge, a time during which she has learned to advocate for herself while taking advantage of small class sizes, many extracurricular opportunities and superb academic preparation.
“Wardlaw promotes student involvement in decision-making roles. While leading the Green Club, I've learned that we need to draft detailed emails of any events we want to hold and meet deadlines,” she said. “W+H also encourages students to think in multiple perspectives. In AP Lang, we read a lot of non-fiction literature and wrote analyses about the author's perspective. In class discussions, people are encouraged to ask questions and state their opinions. In every class I take, the teacher has a different teaching style, yet another perspective. These are all important when entering college.”
Annie has made the most of her W+H experience by participating in the Global Scholars Program, staying active in athletics, and conducting a Chinese independent study. She’s also grateful for the support and guidance of the school’s College Counseling Office, which helped ease her stress about everything from letters of recommendation to reading essays throughout the application process.
“I want to further emphasize the importance of asking for help, and being proactive,” Annie said. “In this process, my parents were heavily involved, too. Throughout every step, they wanted to ensure things were as good as they could be. It was my mom who pushed questions onto me, and led me inevitably to ask Ms. Honan for help. She always answered honestly and wholeheartedly. She even made time to meet with my parents, which allowed them to feel comfortable with my decisions as well. My parents say that my brother did not have such a caring counselor, which shows how much my counselors do care. I believe part of it is also me constantly speaking up for myself.”
