Hawken School College Counseling Office

We can’t wait to welcome our college admissions visitors back to campus! The season kicks off next week with College of Wooster!

Forum starts today and we are off and running! Let’s get those essays in!

We’re one week away, Seniors!

Back to school also means welcoming our college admissions colleagues to Hawken! Our visitor list is growing!

A visit to the University of Denver never disappoints. Referred to as “the Goldilocks of colleges” multiple times during our stay, Denver is not too big, not too small, has the city at it’s fingertips- 15 minutes by light rail - but also it’s own beautiful campus, not to mention the mountains. Oh, and did we mention the mountain campus they also have? DU is committed to their 4D Plan: deepening intellect, developing well-being, discovering character and designing careers and lives of purpose. It is an R1 research institution, rare for its size, and also operates on a quarter system, which contributes to 70% of students studying abroad and the ability to double major or minor with ease. They have an incredibly competitive D1 athletics program, with 11 national hockey titles and championships in lacrosse, soccer and gymnastics. 300 days of sunshine isn’t bad either. For students with learning differences, it offers one of the best support programs in the country.

Great visit to CU Boulder today. It’s hard not to fall in love with this place! Over 230 majors across 7 colleges, in addition to 75 minors and a number of certificate programs. Creating a sense of community for students is a theme across campus, especially in residence life.

Ms. Hutchinson and Mrs. Harris are thrilled to be participating in the Peak to Peak Counselor Program! First stop: Colorado College. It’s hard not to be impressed by this innovative and thoughtful community. The available resources to ensure that no student is denied an opportunity for financial reasons are outstanding, and the Block Plan allows students flexibility and freedom. In fact, many students have multiple study abroad experiences because of it!

Today marked our third and final signing day for the Class of 2026! So proud of our student athletes who will continue to pursue both their academic and athletic goals in college!

More college decision celebrations!

Our bell ringers for today! Congratulations Hawks!
