WIAD And The Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls Strikes Back (With Leprechauns) Pt. 4 - 3/18/11

Yep. We're having another Walk-In Application Day tomorrow, Friday March 18th. Yes, as usual I'm going to try to make it relate to this month's holiday, namely St. Patrick's Day. No, I don't know if I am going to succeed, but it was better than trying to tie it to the Ides of March (Et tu, Brute?). 

And here we go...

What is WIAD, you (who have not been reading this blog) ask? Well, it's a magical day. You can come in anytime from 9am to 5pm, with your completed application and required transcripts, and...um...a cadre of leprechauns [student workers] take you on a mystical tour of the verdant, emerald isle that we call Marymount College [it isn't really an island...but you can see one from here.]. When you get back, you can nibble some fairy cakes and sip on a cuppa while our counselors [uh, Druid Apostates? Cut me some slack here...] process your file faster than you can lilt, "Hearts, stars, and horseshoes, clovers and blue moons, pots of gold and rainbows, and a red balloon." 

Then, if you've got the luck of the Irish, St. Patrick [our not-quite beatified assistant dean of enrollment] might deliver the pot o' gold at the end of the admission rainbow: a same-day admission decision (whether or not she'll drive snakes from California afterward remains to be seen). If there's a double rainbow (all the way across the sky!), you might even get a double pot o' gold: a scholarship on top of your decision! Of course, we'll need your SAT/ACT scores for that.

RSVP by commenting below or on our Facebook page and (as long as you didn't do it anonymously) we'll have a present waiting for you tomorrow! 



Check back next month as we bring back yet another WIAD and I try to find an obscure holiday that isn't Easter to which I can compare it. Any suggestions?
