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).

Legacies are not just for the famous and powerful. The most important legacies come from people who invest in others where they live every day.

Dr. Bill Brown, president of Cedarville University, talks about legacy in today's Parent Prep post.

For parents of our new students, let me say how excited we are to welcome your sons and daughters to Cedarville in August. If you have any questions between now and August, please contact us. We are here to serve you!

Has your student completed the Applicant Profile? This form helps us communicate with you and your family more effectively. You can access the online form or check its status with your student's log-in information. If not already completed, please take a moment to provide this important information. Your responses will be held in strict confidence and used only by appropriate University personnel.

Blessings to you!
