Business - Management and Administration
Be a well rounded individual. Do things that improve social skills, not just academics.
Business - Management and Administration
This is a no brainer for any school, look at their standards, what they look for, and mimic that.
Philosophy
First of all, find what exactly W&L attracts you and why you want to come. W&L has both sides: practical and ideal. You will find two distinctive ways of living in W&L. The university is super for any major of field of interests, since the more important is you have to love the way people live here and obey all the rules and rules under the rules. Come to visit, stay overnight with current students, and better get to know Honor System well before applying to W&L.
PreLaw and Legal
Show enthusiasm about W&L!!! There are kids here who turned down Harvard, and there are kids here who got in by the hair on their chins.
Psychology
Apply for the scholarship competition in March and make sure to interview. I did an alumni interview as well as one on campus and really enjoyed both- the guys were down to earth and both recent alums. (As a side note to make it less scary, I saw my admissions counselor at one of this year's big parties and have seen him out quite frequently since... don't be scared! They're real people too and understand EVERY facet W&L!)
| History/Histories (art history/etc.)
I transferred in from one of the "Top 5" state universities. That school was higher ranked since it was frankly just lager. Undergraduate experience at W&L was far superior. I was well prepared for my two graduate degrees and a successful IT career.
Undecided
Good luck. You'll need it.
Undecided
Have some number of leadership qualities.
Economics
Just make sure you keep in contact with the school, when new things happen definitely call whoever you interviewed with, or just call admissions. They keep track of EVERYTHING, so make sure you know that.
