A Gathering of Scholars

Sunday, Jan. 24 (today, technically), is the Schubert Honors Scholars Competition! Admitted honors students from all over the nation will compete for possible supplements to their scholarship package. Meaning, more $$$. Smells like a sweet deal to us.

Students will have an hour to write an essay on an unknown topic, and then discuss their essays in a small roundtable group with a professor. Then, since they're here, they're whisked off on a whirlwind of festivities: campus tours, open houses, class visitations, movies, receptions, and recitals. Work hard, play hard. That's the way we roll.

Good luck to students participating! This competition is a big one for us. One can smell the excitement on campus. (It smells like fresh laundry, Cheetos, and freshly printed money). Hey, we might even live-tweet this thing. It's no Golden Globes, but on the plus side, we're rolling out the red carpet for your talent, not your designer outfit.

Come as you are, show us what you got, but most importantly, have fun.

Ice-Breaker

AKA, what many will learn to master by the end of your freshman year.

Welcome to Bishop Bytes, a blog about two things: college admissions and Ohio Wesleyan University. Sometimes the two will be related, and sometimes not. Maybe we'll bring up other universities, but to be honest, we love the spotlight. Thrive on it, really.

We certainly encourage you to learn more about OWU through traditional means. In fact, please, we insist. But if you want to get to know us with our ties loosened, our feet kicked up, and our seats reclined, then you're in the right place.

Happy reading!
