Along with our admissions and financial aid team, I have enjoyed communicating with our Parent Prep subscribers this year as you have considered Cedarville University.

As you finalize this decision as a family, I thought it may be helpful to share the top reasons your student's future classmates tell us they have chosen Cedarville:

• Academic reputation: We have the in-demand majors students want, and our grads are excelling at places like Harvard, NASA, and Procter & Gamble (just to name a few). Cedarville doesn't just "talk" about quality. It is validated by national surveys, college rankings, job and graduate school placement data, competition results, and test scores.
• Christ-centered focus: It's not just a buzz-word here; it's intentionally part of every aspect of classes, residence life, activities, and ministries.
• Outstanding value: The rigorous academic experience is life-changing, costs and scholarships are competitive, and Cedarville is worth the investment.

If you have any last-minute questions or concerns that need to be addressed, we want to help. You are welcome to e-mail us, or call your student's admissions counselor at 1-800-CEDARVILLE (233-2784).
